Newbie needing some help

For starters im 20 years old and weigh 195 at 5'7. I'd like to cut so I'd appear somewhat defined and eliminate my belly. I've been lifting on and off for about 3 years and within the past 4 or 5 months have gotten really serious about my lifting and starting to see progress... I should also mention that I work and goto school full time often hitting the gym at 9pm on the weekdays. My workout schedule is something like this..

Mon- chest
Tues- back
Wed- Legs
Thurs- Shoulders and traps
Fri- Bi's and Tri's

I read Rambo's sticky on cutting and am a little unsure of how to work that into my schedule...

Meal 1:
Lean Protein, 1/2 cup oatmeal
What are some examples of Lean Protien for breakfast and how much should I have

Meal 2:
Protein shake/Lean Protein (2 tbsp flax
for protien shake I read on another post that dextrose is good? What kinds of lean protiend should I have at this point in the day and how much?

Meal 3:
Veggies, Lean Protein
> are can veggies really that bad? What kinds of lean protiend should I have at this point in the day and how much?

Workout

Meal 4:
PWO Nutrition
dextrose

Meal 5:
Veggies, Lean Protein, 1/2 cup rice or oatmeal.

Meal 6:
Shake with Flax
dextrose?

Sine I usually hit the gym at 9 pm and leave around 10:30-11 depending on the day.. could I have meal 5 before my workout leaving only one meal after?

Also would a whole tomatoe or 2 with light salt and olive oil be considered a veggies portion for a meal?

Eggs are good for protein. I wouldn't take a shake and eat protein. Choose one or the other. Can vegies aren't the best but I rinse them with water before I eat them, it takes most of the salt out. I would leave one meal after the workout. You don't want that much food before you go to sleep in your system.

I am in a similar situation as yourself bro, in all aspects, school, work, body stats. I think your best choice would be to lift in the early mornings.
Its gonna be hard to fuel your muslces and lose bodtfat unless u can strategically work your diet around your workouts.
