First cutting diet. Please Critique!

[GymRat96744]

Stats:
Age 28
Weight: 200#
BF%: 18% to 20% (Not too sure but will get is checked within the next few days)

I have gained both muscle mass and bf over the past year and a half. This wil be my first cutting cycle. My goal is to keep as much muscle mass as possible, continue to gain lean muscle mass and drop bf% down to about 12-15% before i start bulking. I am currently off cycle. I plan to start my next cycle as soon as i reach my goal of 12% - 15% bf. My main concern is that i will loose my muscle mass and reach my goal but look skinny. I want to keep my bulky look but with low bf%. Please help me out guys and help and comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. This is what i have planned for my cutting diet:

Macros = macronutrients... i.e. protein, carbs and fats. In order to help you, we need to see the values for each of your meals. Example:

Meal 1:
2 whole eggs - 12g protein, 1g carbs, 9g fat
protein shake - 30g protein, 2g carbs, 3g fat
1/2 cup oats - 5g protein, 26g carbs, 2.5g fat
1/2 cup blueberries - 0g protein, 20g carbs, 0g fat

Total: 47g protein, 49g protein, 14.5g fat

Got it now?
