    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

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

    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?

    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
