Macros for all the meals would help, no one is going to figure all that out for you.

just seeing if there is any modifications i can do, not looking for details....just some opinion on the plan.

Not a vet but looks good. I'm sure you have a diet guide from your team, but only thing I can think of that is missing is the protein post workout..?

[FireGuy]

I dont know if you are measuring your food pre or post cooked which makes a huge difference, especially with the rice. I would add protein PWO as well but reduce the protein overall. I am guessing you are close to 450-500 grams a day which is overkill, especially since you have plenty of carbs and fats included.

[scotty51312]

Agree with fireguy on the overkill, also IMO you're using whey to much whey, I'd cut one of the first shakes and add real food, (30/30g lean protien/low gi carbs) And possibly add a scoup of whey back into your PWO with the waxey maize (which is awesome that you're using by the way) possibly add some slow digesting protien to your pre bed meal since thats the longest time your body goes without food and the time you're most likely to become catabolic, so i'd eat some ground beef or full fat cottage cheese before bed. Or a scoup of cassien with a tbsp of natural peanutbutter. Just some constructive input hope it helps.
