Need Help With A Cutting Diet

Hey guys, this is my first post...some background info: I'm 21 years old, 6'3" 235 lbs, endomorphic (extremely easy gainer, always had trouble cutting), been training hard for about 2 years (never any juice), and I'm not sure what my bf% is at currently but it's a hell of a lot higher than I want it to be. I'm wanting to drop my body fat about 5-6% and get down to about 205-210lbs. I put together a cutting diet after reading the stickies, doing tons of research, and trial and error with cutting and bulking in the past and was wondering what ya'll thought, thanks!:

AM Cardio (45 mins of Jogging on treadmill or outside)

Meal 1: 1 whole egg, 5 egg whites
1/2 cup cooked oatmeal, 1/8 cup raisins, 1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 grape fruit
1 scoop whey protein in water

Meal 2: 1 scoop whey protein in water
2 tbsp. of flax
2 tbsp. of heavy cream (in shake)
1 6oz. can tuna in water

Meal 3: 8oz. chicken breast
1/2 cup brown rice
2 cups salad greens w/ tbsp. fat free ranch dressing

Workout

Meal 4: 2 scoops of whey in water
60 grams of dextrose
multivitamins

Meal 5: 8 oz. ground turkey
2 cups broccoli

Meal 6: (Mix all the following and cook): 2 scoops whey protein
1 whole egg, 3 egg whites
1 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. splenda

Totals: 2712 cals, 81g fat, 170g carb, 336g protein
(I will also be taking a thermogenic (Instone leanfire) and glutamine)

good start. walk at an incline, don't jog if you want to save as much muscle as possible.

turn meal 3 into pro\fat. make meal 5 (ppwo) pro\carb, yeah veggies are carbs but fiberous (sp) ones and you should replace it with a sweet potato/brown rice/etc.

WOW! Almost the same as me!!! I am endo aswell, and almost the same measurements! ;)

That's good to hear...99% of the stuff out there is geared towards hard gainers...glad to see there are people out there working on stuff for the rest of us.

Here's the revamped diet, Meal 3 is now pro/fat and Meal 5 is pro/carb based on Nixon's advice. I think I should throw some green veggies in there somewhere, but I'm not quite sure where to put them, as I originally had them in Meal 3 and 5. Let me know what ya'll think. Thanks.

2 tbsp. of flax
2 tbsp. of heavy cream (in shake)
1 6oz. can tuna in water

Meal 3: 8oz. chicken breast
1/2 oz. almonds

Meal 4: 2 scoops of whey in water
60 grams of dextrose
multivitamins

Meal 5: 8 oz. ground turkey
1 cup brown rice

Meal 6: (Mix all the following and cook): 2 scoops whey protein
1 whole egg, 3 egg whites
1 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. splenda

Totals: 2810 cals, 91g fat, 171g carb, 336g protein
(I will also be taking a thermogenic (Instone leanfire) and glutamine)

you can keep vegies in meal 3 and anywhere else but meal 5 because you want fast absorbtion for the protein.

Meal 2: 1 scoop whey protein in water
2 tbsp. of flax
2 tbsp. of heavy cream (in shake)
1 6oz. can tuna in water

1/2 oz. almonds
(Make this meal a protein shake and flax, another pro/fat meal)

Why dump the carbs in meal 1? I thought a large portion of your carbs should be taken in the morning (the other time being PWO) even while cutting. Also, how would you alter this diet on non lifting days?
