Cutting thru cardio ONLY?

[entrrt]

i was thinking about this and wanted your opinions/thoughts. during my next cutting phase could i just continue my ~3000 cal/day meals and just 'tweak' the cardio workouts to shed the weight?? i really dont want to eat less than what i am eating now, but would rather start adding some cardio work to develop a caloric deficit.

what do ya think?? pros? cons?

cutting = burn more calls then you eat, if you can burn more then 3000 calls a day then go, but it seems pointless hard work

its best to drop the cals slowly to a few hundred below maintaince and do cardio.. no easy way out of cutting :P
