Is there any downside to restricting calories to a minimal amount?

I don't think that's a safe cut...

I'm not going to rush in here and say bulking / cutting is a meme, it's just a strategy employed by professional athletes and not necessarily appropriate for the majority of people lifting. Moreover, nothing is more irritating than watching fat fucks think it's okay to eat ice cream and go to Wendy's because "I'm bulking." A lot of the times it's just an excuse for people to not have the discipline to give up eating junk food but still engage in the machismo of lifting at the gym. Having big arms is great, but having a big fat beer belly still puts you at serious risk for hypertension and heart disease.

Ranting aside, if you want to lose weight, just use a calorie counter and ensure you're getting your calories from clean sources. Don't try to starve yourself - 1000 calories a day is not enough. If you just cut to a standard 2100 or 2000 and get calories from clean sources, you'll probably find that you lose the weight at a safe, natural pace.

Dont be idiot. Your body is complex machine with 999 processes going on at the same time. By drastically lowering calories you may damage it in funny ways which will hit you few years later.

Also
>200g of protein
Guess how do i know your diet is anything but balanced?

>what will happen
You will feel like shit at best, die at worst.

Tldr dont be retard.

Your body will consume macronutrients to generate energy before sustaining muscle mass. 200g of protein at 1000 calories means that your body will start using that protein for energy and it won't leave enough to sustain your muscle mass, and you'll be fatigued and weak as shit.

If you cut carbs you gotta raise fat.

190 lbs isnt a bulk at 6ft. Im 5'7 and my last bulk was 185 at 17% bf. Scared to lose abs?
