I would replace the banana with oats since you are cutting. Other than that, diet looks pretty clean and macros look OK.

Since you haven't specified what your exact goal is other than that you are cutting, if you plateau with this diet, which you eventually will, you will basically have to start cycling carbs. This means, you will need to go as low as under 100gr of carbs on non-training days and increase your daily essential fat intake on those days to make up for the daily caloric need for maintaining lean tissue. At that point and on, you enter a phase where dieting becomes an art-form
