I have fluctuated my weight a few times. When i first started working out a few years ago I was 240 and not in great shape, timmed down to 167 at 6'....Then got tired of being small and bulked up to 275 but that was too big. Recently I started cutting again and im down to about 220 and getting leaner...here's my diet, would appreciate any advice....I work out 7 days a week, lifting 5-6 times PUSH/PULL/LEGS...cardio 30 mins/day

First off, you need to add healthy fat to your diet. Olive oil, unsweetened coconut, natural peanut butter, avocado, flax are all great options.

Second, you are lifting WAY to much. Being on a calorie deficit and lifting 5-6 days a week is overdoing it. This can be detrimental to your fat loss, actually. I would drop weight lifting down to 3-4 days a week. This will give your muscles time to recover. It could be beneficial to do HIIT on your off days, but it would be good if you have at least one day that you are completely resting from HIIT and Lifting.

How long have you been on this workout? your body could be used to it, and therefore not making any more progress on it.
