Current Diet Critique (pre-cycle)

[xerxes333]

Below is my current diet (has been this way for over 7 years, adjusting macros here and there but basically the same).

I'm curious to know if this diet is good for going on a novice 12wk cycle or if I should up the calorie count. The goal of the cycle is to get more shredded rather than bulked up.

I'd like to run a cutting cycle but all recommendations point to doing a simple test E cycle for the first few times. Makes sense to me, I'll just have to keep the diet super clean to keep fat gains to a minimum.
