Diet is ok but has some glaring problems that need to be addressed asap. First, try to get your water up to 1.5 gallons. I see no need for meals with 60+ grams of protein. I'd just remove the cottage cheese in meal 1 and replace it with 2 whole eggs. I'd also up the oats to 1 full cup in that meal and the pwo which 1.5 scoops of whey would be fine. Replace the string cheese with a 1/2 casein 1/2 whey shake with 1/2 cup oats for convenience. Also try to get in another serving of healthy fat since this will pit your fats too low. Biggest issue is the lack of green veggies. 4-6 cups. Also 8-12g omega 3

Redone Meal plans and here is what it looks like finished.

Meal 1 – 1 Cup Egg White / 1 Cup Oatmeal / 2 Whole Eggs / 1 Omega 3 Very complete breakfast. Very nice.
46p / 60c / 16f
Post Workout – 2 Whey Protein / ½ Cup Oatmeal Nice.
53p / 33c / 5f
Meal 3 – 1 Whey / 1 Casein / ¼ Cup Oatmeal Try to get this in 60 minutes after the first PWO shake. Better than string cheese obviously, but whenever possible, use lean meat instead. The issue here however, is that it's early in the day: there's no reason not to get substantially more carbs in here to optimize PWO recovery. I'd do 1 whole cup of oats and then taper down from here.
50.5p / 18c / 3.5f
Meal 4 – 4oz 93/7 beef / ½ cup oatmeal / ½ Cup 2% Cottage Cheese / 1 Cup Broccoli It works.
44p / 37c / 8.5f
Meal 5 – 8oz Chicken Breast or Tuna / ½ Cup 2% Cottage Cheese / 1 Cup Green Beans I'd replace the cottage cheese here with nuts, oil or avocado. Carbs are now out, so we want fats to fuel our late day - you're still in the anabolic PWO recovery period at this point. Example: 8 oz. meat, 1 cup green beans, 1 oz. almonds OR 1 tablespoon olive oil.
52p / 11c / 6.5f
Meal 6 – 2 Casein / 2 Tbsp Peanut Butter I'd look to bring Omega-3s up more and drop the PB here to 1 tbsp to maintain your deficit.
60.5p / 18c / 18f

Total = 306 Protein / 175.5 Carbohydrate / 57.5 Fat / 2443.5 Calories

Looks good. Optimized in bold.
