I have never really paid to much attention to my diet before the past couple months. Since then I have mainly been trying to time out 6-7 meals a day. Not paying to much attention to anything but protein. I would probably average about 40-50g protein, 70-80 carbs, and 10-20g fat per meal. I noticed a big increase in natural gains since then, but also added a couple lbs of fat. Right now I am 22yo, 6'4" 270 with about 16% bf. I am now trying to arrange my diet into something that will drop my fat about 7-10lbs. Workouts are good. ill start cardio 3 time/week.
Im guessing ill start my daily calories around 3000 kcal and drop slowly till I think ive started to lose fat.
Here is my planned diet based roughly on the cutting sticky.

Egg whites w/ fat free cheese
oatmeal or cereal

I guess my plan is start here and drop the carbs slowly. Do I need to serarate the carbs and fat in meal 3 and 6 better? Also I feel like I have a good bit of diversity in the choices i have for protien sources, but does anybody have any suggestions on acceptable carbs other than rice, oatmeal, sweet potatoes. Thank you in advance for any criticism.
