My cutting plan for May

mtf612

Hi guys,
June 9th will mark 1 year of exercise and healthy eating for me. I started at 245lbs and today I am 158 (though Ive been as low as 153). My goal is to get to 6-7% body fat for my 1 year anniversary. I lift weights daily, and Im doing more cardio now, but I am concerned about how to balance my diet. The past two months Ive seen little progress (with fat loss at least) because I have 'cheated' a lot. Now its time to get dedicated to a cutting diet. I am approximately 11% body fat right now (male 5'11" 158lbs). I always get AT LEAST 165g of protein a day, and usually im 200g+. On my new diet Im looking towards doing the following:

**May 1st - May 6th = 1750 calories 115g Carb
May 7th (Shock Day) = 1900 calories 140g Carb
**May 8th - May 13th = 1650 calories 90g Carb
May 14th (Shock Day) = 1800 calories 115g Carb
**May 15th - May 20th =1600 calories 75g Carb
May 21st (Shock Day) = 1750 calories 100g Carb
**May 22nd - May 27th = 1550 calories 50g Carb
May 28th (Shock Day) = 1700 calories 75g Carb
**May 29th - June 3rd = 1500 calories 35g Carb
--Low sugar, focus on complex carbs, as I get closer to goal weight I will reevaluate .

Thoughts?
I lift weights (at least) an hour a day on a 4 day split (pull, core, push, leg). I sometimes do 10 minutes of high intensisty cardio, but Im thinking of switching to a morning walk for 20 minutes immediately after my protein shake. -+

I want to see what others say...

From what Ive gathered, my carbs dont need to be affected quite so much. So instead, I will stay on a 30% Carb, 30% fat, 40% protein diet, with 150 calorie boosts on my 'shock days'. I will also boost complex carbohydrate intake on these days.

Im going to boost cardio to at least 2 hours a week as well.
