    Help tweaking diet

    So I've started going back to the gym 3 months ago. Been working out consistently monday-friday. I've been doing the following diet for the past 2 weeks and have gone down from 172-162. I'm 20 years old, 162 lbs and 5'9" .I have noticed a loss in BF but I don't know if its healthy to be losing 5 pounds a week. This is my diet and any advice will be taking into consideration:

    -12 pm( Thats when I wake up due to work and going to the gym really late):
    3 Egg whites and 1 whole egg
    2 Scoops of oatmeal with 20oz of water and 1 spoon of sugar

    -3pm:
    Ramen noodles with a hotdog chopped in small pieces.(No salt or any type of seasonings)
    20 oz watter bottle

    -4 pm:
    About of cup of unsalted peanuts

    -6pm:
    Chicken breast and brown rice (not sure about the exact measurements)

    8pm ++++:

    After this time I just feed my body on vegetables and water.
    From salads that include lettuce,tomatoe, onions, green peppers etc.

    I do have a protein shake but I stopped taking it because its too high in calories. I think its 1200 calories with 3 scoops and 15 oz of water. When I come back from the gym at around 3 am, I take 2 capsules of Concrete creatine and I'm off to bed.

    I know I didn't give exact measurements but atleast you got the idea if I'm eating enough or if I will lose muscle mass with this diet or anything that really comes to mind. Thanks in advance.

    firstly, u need 2 get your macros sorted out. http://nutritiondata.self.com/ use that site 2 help u or packaging.

    u need to structure ur diet properly, read the sticky and other members threads on here and learn how 2 structure a proper diet plan. saying ill just after 8pm "whenever" is no good. u need to count every calorie u have throughout the day and when u take it. get a proper diet up and ill be able 2 help u out more

    gucks, no peanuts, but you can have certain nuts, right?

    ye almonds for some EFA's are fine once or twice a day. peanuts are ok in moderation but a cup is way 2 much. maybe 20g of peanuts would be ok for a fat source in 1 meal.

    Ok I'll try to cut down on the peanuts. As for the ramen noodles, I sometimes eat pasta( the thin spaghetti looking ones). I could eat brown rice + chicken breast to replace it atleast 3 times a week, but eating pasta hasnt really affected my weight loss. Also, I'm not trying to go down to a really low BF. Ill be fine with 10-12% bf. When I don't eat enough carbs , I feel that I'm not able to rep out as much in the gym. Thats why I would prefer to keep a decent amount of carbs in my diet but I definitely don't mind eating brown rice + chicken breast somedays instead of pasta.

    if u ned carbs then go for it, its about personal choice. and ye pasta wuld be ok, much ebtter then noodles anyway (noodles are made with eggs and have quite a bit of fat in them when u eat a big serving)
