You Diet gurus, help me determine if I am on the right track or not.....

I pulled the food values off of CalorieKing and they seem to be as correct when comparing them to the food packaging.....Anyway, think it has all the needed information to critique.....been using an ECA stack for a few weeks as well as this "diet" and obviously the goal is to shed as much fat as possible with the least amount of muscle loss...but the ultimate goal is to lose the weight...currently 5'11", 255lbs....after doing the calculations, IM at around 3100 calories as my maintenance level and factored the current caloric intake based off that amount - 1000 calories.........seeing pretty good results but want to get a little feedback from you guys.....thanks in advance

Not bad bro but your meal 5 and PWO are fuked.

Put some carbs in your Preworkout meal, and your PWO meal needs carbs as well to replenish your glycogen stores from the workout.

You really need to add atleast one more meal PPWO which could be something like Salmon + Broccoli or steak and spinach salad etc..
The way it sits you'll lose muscle, I'd shoot for around 2500-2800 calories.

you want to get 1.5-2 grams of protein per pound of body weight, right now you are just barely over 1, so up the protein intake

also i agree with i**mfkr, PWO the 2 scoops of whey is good but you also need to get the dextrose/maltodextrin after your workout, ideally a 60/30 protein/carb and you need a meal after that right before bed, it should be a slow digesting protein like beef/chicken/fish etc.

Chicken and the majority of fish aren't what I consider slow digesting proteins. Stick with something fatty like Pork/Beef/Salmon or f/f Cott. cheese. Fiberous vegetables are always a plus with this meal as well to again help slow absorbtion and help with digestion.

....I was just thinking that upping the caloric intake would work against the ultimate goal of losing fat???.....and if I was going to limit the calorie intake, I would not know where to cut cause it seems like a fairly clean diet with the exception of the Jello....a couple more questions;

1)Id really like, for cost reasons and quickness, to eat FFCott cheese right before bedtime as Meal #6...good/poor plan?

2)looking at my flax oil, it has a caloric value of 130 p/tbsp but the gel caps I saw had a value of 10....other than the obvious, whats the difference and is there a benefit over the liquid vs the gelcap.....seems like a no brainer to eliminate a few extra cal's but Im pretty sure Im missing some info here.

3) when adding carbs to the PWO for the gly levels I** mentioned, what would be a good source ?

Thanks in advance

Good choice IMO.

Pills only have 1 gram of flaxoil per capsule so you'd have to take 10-15capsules to one tablespoon of flax oil. They are good for traveling but not good for daily use.
3) when adding carbs to the PWO for the gly levels I** mentioned, what would be a good source ?
Any kind of High or Medium GI carb. If you're unsure of what these are look up the Glycemic Index online for some ideas.
Thanks in advance
