Tightening up the Diet

So I was reading about how many people doing leangains overestimate their calorie needs, and one person was suggesting to go as low as calories as you can without sacrificing strength gains.  So, I decided to cut calories again and try this out for the final 5-6 weeks of my 12 week trial.

Now, I'm down to an average of 2000 calories per day with macros like this:
Training day:
fat 37g
carbs 330g
protein 190g

Rest day:
fat 62g
carbs 95g
protein 190g

RPT training has been kicking my ass, so I expect to see some more strength gains over the next few weeks.  If all goes as planned, I think I might hit my goals by the end:
1) Low body fat %
2) Intermediate strength standards

Then, I'll have a little break from all this, before I start bulking on more muscle, yeah!
