    Can someone please critique my current "get lean" diet

    I am currently on a diet and trying to lean up before summer. I bulked since september and gained alot of good weight but with the high calorie intake, I gained a bit of fat (nothing crazy) I'm 5'9 and I think at my highest I was 190. I am currently 175 and want to keep going until my abs are clearly visible around 8-10 % body fat.

    I currently work out 6 days a week consisting of:
    Monday - Chest/abs
    Tuesday - Back
    Wednesday - Shoulders
    Thursday - Triceps/abs
    Friday - Biceps
    Saturday - Legs

    I find by doing my weeks like this, I am obviously fully healed up the next time I go in to hit the muscle group again.

    I do 40 minutes of cardio a day split up into 3 different times... 20 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes directly after my workout and then another 10 minutes before bed.

    My diet consists of:

    Morning - 3 packs of High Fibre Oatmeal for my main carb intake/ Multivitamin, cardio an hour after

    Lunch time - 2 cooked eggs with 250 ML of milk

    around 2:30PM - 10 egg whites, 250 ML of milk

    4:00PM - 3 BCAA pills, and then head off to the gym for 1 hour of weight training and 10 minutes of cardio

    5:15: Post workout - 2 Scoops of Mutant X Whey protein shake with 300 ML of milk (roughly 55 G's of protein in the shake including the milk)

    7:30: 2 Pieces of Lean chicken breast about 40 grams of protein each with 1 1/4 cup's of broccoli and 250 ML of Milk.

    10:00 PM - 10 Minutes of cardio and then shower and bed soon after.

    I looked up that I need to intake 2619 calories to maintain my weight of 175 and my total calorie intake including things such as butter to help cook the food is 1910 and I burn roughly 400 calories alone just from the cardio not including my weight training. So my deficit with food alone is 709.

    I am also natural, I don't feel it that important to state that but since this is steroids.com, I might as well mention it.

    I also consume alot of water throughout the day to help surpress the appetite.

    Any advice or critique will be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance.

    Questions:

    1. Is your milk skimmed?

    2. What is the macros for 3 packs of High Fibre Oatmeal?

    Suggestions:

    Diet:

    - It seems that you are getting many carbs from lactose throughout the day. I would at least replace 300ml of milk with water as for the PWO shake.
    - Your daily protein intake is not enough. 709 cals of deficit from food should be from carbs and fat while cutting, not protein.

    Training:
    - Are you really going to the gym to do biceps only on Fridays? Why not exercise them with triceps the day before? A bicep day at the gym = a wasted day IMO.

    - Your cardio split is very awkward to me. I am having an hard time understanding why you would split a daily 40min cardio into 3 portions of 20/10/10? Even if there is a reasonable explanation for this split, are you aware that you would be burning more fat if you did 40mins at a time instead of your current split? What do you really get out of 10mins of cardio twice a day, I am really curious about this now...
