Please critique my cutting diet

[JdFlex]

I'm 27, 6'0", 210lbs, probably around 12-14%bf. Been lifting for around 10 years. I have no clue what bf is but my abs are clearly visible while flexing them. Not flexing them and my stomach is a bit round. My goal is to lose body fat. I would like to get down around 8-10%bf. My initial goal is to lose 10lbs and see how I look at 200. I want to cut up before I start bulking again. I want my diet to be as simple as possible, that way I'll have a better chance of sticking with it longer. I'm eating 6 meals a day now, so that won't be a problem. I'm just eating the wrong things. I'm not gonna get hung up right now on quantities of food. I will be able to fine tune that while on the diet. I am more concerned about what I am eating. Ok, here's the diet. Thanks for any help.

meal 1 7.30
3 scoops whey protein powder in water (60g)
1 cup oatmeal

meal 2 10.15
2 cans of tuna fish with mayo

meal 3 1.00
PWO shake
2 scoops whey protein powder water (40g)
4 scoops dextrose in water (80g)

meal 4 3.30
1/4 lb turkey on whole wheat bread
with mustard
can of vegetables

meal 5 6.30
3 whole eggs 3 egg whites

meal 6 9.30
3 scoops whey protein powder in water (60g)

Doing cardio?

Also, I'd check the cutting sticky atop the page for a decent general guide.

Yes I'm doing cardio. 3 days a week for 30 minutes to start out with and I'll modify that as I need to based on my results. I get good weight loss results with a strict diet alone and even better results with cardio. My main concern is to lose as little muscle as possible. I did use parts of the cutting sticky as my basis. Any critique?

[RONINASAUNA]

agreed.. check cutting sticky..


helping me tons!!

[JdFlex]

I read the cutting sticky. Here is my plan. Please critique my plan.

I'd cut out the oatmeal in the morning and replace it with some good fats like flax.

Meal 4 should be closer to meal 3, like around 2:00. If not, then you should cut out the carbs. Even keeping them, there are better carbs than bread. Here is where you want to have your oatmeal.

Bump.

Thanks, dude.

why should meal 4 be closer to 3? is it because of the window of opportunity for carbs to be absorbed after workout?
