Keep in mind that the advice I am giving you is my own opinion based off of my personal results and good only while trying to cut/loose fat. I use something different when trying to bulk.
Okay here are a few things to start with. You should be getting around 240g-300g of protein and you are only getting around 200g. This will allow you to reach your calorie demands, but allow you to have less carbs and fat. That means that if you have 5 meals a day you need to get about 48g-60g of protein per meal. The only time you should have carbs (other than greens) is first thing in the morning and post-workout. Fat and carbs are used for energy and only as needed.
Meal #1 -Eliminate the banana and add egg whites till you reach your protein goal for this meal.
Meal #2 - Eliminate the brown rice, no need for the carbs here. The carbs from meal #1 are still working and will provide you with enough for your workout coming up. Add in some green veggies to help fill you up and give you something good to go with the Salmon.
Eliminate the pre-workout shake. No need and it is always better to get your calories from whole foods.
Post workout shake -- either eliminate this and replace with a whole food meal high in carbs and protein or make a shake, but try to get your recommended amount of protein and double that amount of carbs. (50% dextrose/50% maltodextrin) So if you are shooting for 50g protein go for 100g carbs with the ratio above. Don't be scared of carbs here right after your workout.
Meal #3 - You need to meet your protein goal again in this meal so you need allot more. Carbs should come only from green veggies here and add only enough fat to meet your calorie demands and give you enough energy to get through the rest of the day.
Meal #4 - Eliminate the slice of wheat bread, exchange the meatloaf for some steak and the green beans are good, but should not be the canned ones.
If at the end of the day you have not met your calorie/protein needs then you can have some non-fat cottage cheese before bed. If you just need a little amount than the cottage cheese alone will be good. If you need more you can add in a little natural peanut butter and a little cassien protein powder.
This should get you started and help you lower your bf. You will have to evaluate how your body reacts and make adjustments as needed. Once you get ripped off this you can consider using your clen to get you shredded. I can help you out with that dose once you get this accomplished, but don't sell your self short. You can do this!!!!
Let me know if you have any questions. cali
