1st - Why do you work out in the morning? Do you work really late into the day or is that just your prefernce? You are trying to get to a lower BF% so my first suggestion would be to do cardio in the morning on an empty stomach for 45 minutes. Train after you work and add 30 minutes of cardio after training (except leg day). I also have no idea what your split is, what your intensity in the gym is like, how many reps sets you are doing.
2nd - From what you posted it appears you are on Zero carbs except what you are getting from some veggies (unless I missed something). If you are trying to burn fat and you are on that low fat diet with zero carbs eventually your bodys going to start eating muscle. I'd throw some carbs in. Low Glycemic carbs i.e. brown rice, sweet potato, Oatmeal. I'd rotate your carbs... 1st day 150 grams, 2nd day 75 grams, 3rd day 40..then start the rotation over. See how that goes and how your body responds and you may need to manipulate from there. I would guess your LBM to be around 170 so I would keep my protein around 275 to 300. If you can I would stick to whole foods instead of shakes. Shakes digest extremely fast, your body does not have to work to break that down. When you are taking in whole meals your body has to break that food down, hence your metabolisim will start working.
As far as spending lots of money on food, it would serve you better to join a Sams Club, Costco, BJ's etc. I buy the majority of all my food there and save tons of money.
I didn't want to get any more detailed than that because like I said this should be in the diet forum so I apologize to the members for posting this hear, hopefully I won't get flamed for it...lololol
Hope this helps some.
