You haven't told us your weight. But I can say with fair certainty, you won't be dropping much fat with this diet unless you weigh 250lb+.

Weight: 195
Sorry I thought I had this in the original post...
What do you suggest I drop? I didn't think it was that far off balance, please explain.
Thanks

For your stats, it's more of a maintainence diet, perhaps a little under. Your kcals are too low to build any substantial muscle, and your carbs are too high to lose much fat. You need to go one way or the other. Bulk or cut. At your stats, I'd cut.
Check the stickys atop the forum for some guidelines.

Okay… So you are saying that my overall calorie intake isn’t enough to build lean mass, and my carb’s are to much for fat loss.
Let me see if I can break this down real quick.
So, I need to first find my base daily caloric intake correct? Which is figured by body mass times 15, correct?
Which puts me at 2925, to maintain.
Would a good ratio of Fat/Prot/Carbs for cutting be something like…
Fat: 10%, Prot: 60%, Carbs: 30%? (I just pulled these numbers out of nowhere.)
Hmm…. I really need a better idea of what to do here.. I read the cutting sticky and it doesn’t break down specific enough. Much to vague.

Your carbs are very high for cutting bro.
I would start out by getting your maintenance cals and reducing those by 20%. Drop cals little by little after your fat loss has haulted.
When I cut, my macros looked like:
(cals)2519 (protein)298.5 (carbs)200 (fats)58.5
I weighed around 200lbs with less BF.
This should get you started.
