First things first

Macros

76.5g of FATS
145g of CHO

Weight
~172-175

Bodyfat 20%
Age 27

Diet
Meal 1 Pre
Protein Shake(Plain Whey + Raw Honey+ Slow Starch ie Rolled Oats)

Meal 2 Post
2 Whole Eggs with Good Carbs or 1 glass of Whole Milk(Carbs from Lactose)

Meal 3
8oz Meat with Carbs/Veggies(Sandwich or Burrito) good fats = The meal for work

I may be pulling carbs from meal 3 on off days or cardio days and adding them to my pre or post training.

Looks nice. I'd have less fat though, like 60g and add the difference to carbs.

EDIT: I replied too quickly. If you have a sedentary lifestyle, it works. If you do cardio or don't just sit all day, it's almost surely too low.
I'd rather find maintenance calories (where weight is the same for two weeks) and then lower it by 10%.
If it's your first year lifting I'd recommend recomposition or slow bulk, I've heard it a few times that you don't mess around with first year gains.

op,
unless you're 5'2, you're probably at good position to put on lean muscle in this process. Putting on 10lbs of lean mass at your weight and BF% goes a long way aesthetically

I should have stated my goals. I want to go to 10% bodyfat. Yes I do want to cut. Than slow slow bulk.

I forgot to post my height. I am 5'11''. Agreed on the lean mass.

What is your "meat"? And when you are referring to "good carbs" what are they? Sweet potato's, Brown rice, Quinoa? what?

Also, I would lose the honey (use it in an in between snack maybe, yogurt+honey) in your shake, add an EFA such as, Flaxseed oil, Hemp etc.

meal 2 has only two eggs? eggs are cheap, make it 4whites and 1whole if they are hard boiled, make it the same if your scrambling them, add a low fat low cal yogurt, preferably vanilla (no fruit added) or a scoop of cottage cheese.

Lose the milk! Its not a good source of anything! the sugars will give your GL a rollercoaster ride and sorry to say, It just isn't going to be beneficial, ESPECAILLY if you are looking at it for a carb source!

Add another small protein snack between your 3rd and 4th meal (protein shake) and cut the size of the "meat" size to 4-5 oz. the Protein snack will compensate the difference and give you a longer slow glycemic burn that will stamp out hunger issues.

Just to name a few,
