3 weeks left for cutting diet

I have a few questions.. my cutting diet is basically the sticky but at about 3000 calories. i have 3 weeks left and cardio is up to par and everything is going great. ( i say 3 weeks but after spring break i have to jump back on the diet for competition in june)

question 1: Should i cut out anything or just keep going like i am? (maybe 1/2 cup oats in the morning)

question 2: is one EFA better that the other.. flax vs almonds or NPB

question 3: Should i try swoles 7 days to get lean program?

question 4: Should i make pwo 50:25 dex: pro instead of 90:45?

question 5: Should i stop having 1 cheat meal a week?

Overall everything is going great i have gone from a bulky 225 to a ripped 205 and feel havent lost any mass as far as i can tell! 5'11 and 19 years old

Diet looks great, and the results sound good too. It's almost identical to my diet... How long has it taken you to drop the 20 lbs??? and what's a typical cheat meal for you?

i dropped 20 lbs in around 8 weeks... and i have a cheat meal once a week and it is on saturday night.. i always go to the local mexican restaurant and eat a chicken chimichanga and chicken quesadilla with sour cream and the works.. also have the chips and salsa and cheese dip

1) If I were you, I would keep it the same...
2) All that you've mentioned are good...
3) IMO, not unless you're competing ...
4) 80:40 should be ok...
5) If you can do it, cut it back to one every 2 weeks, and try that...

its worth it trust me. The improved Fatty acid transportaiont from your EFA's is well worth the extra calories
