I'm looking to gain quality muscle while cutting down on BF.
Current Stats:
5'9'' -- 160lb. -- 20% BF
How's this diet look? What might I be able to substitute for avocado, maybe Natty PB? Cauliflower subtitute = broccoli? Thanks for the replies. Will rep back for helpful responses.

Thank you for the link. It sure looks informative. I've been on a fairly dialed diet for a while now, and gains have been minimal. Thus, I was considering switching up my diet.
Total water consumption: 1 -- 1.5 gallons/day
Breakfast:
4 whole eggs
1+ cups of oatmeal
1 banana
16 oz. 2% milk
Lunch:
6+ oz. grilled chicken or tuna salad
2 pieces of whole wheat toast
1+ cups of vegetables w/ olive oil
16 oz. 2% milk
Post-Workout:
1-2 scoops of whey/24g protein
Dinner:
8oz steak or hamburg or chicken
1+ cup of mashed potatoe/baked potatoe/brown or white rice
1+ cup of vegetables w/ olive oil
16oz. 2% milk
*occasional snack = almonds and/or dried fruit
rough macros:
Calories: 3,232
Fat: 181 g
Carbs: 201 g
Protein: 166 g
Is this a decent diet or am I way off the mark? Thanks again!

^ It's essential to at least meet sufficiency of fat intake. After that, it becomes highly dependent on the individual.
Some people respond superbly to relatively high carb intake, where some people are just the opposite and some people fall in between. Those that don't respond well to high carbs (like me), tend to do better as we increase fat intake.
Unfortunately, it's something you have to experiment with to determine what works best for you.

I'll try to vary my carb vs fat intake and see what works best. Overall, however, my macros are not too off the mark?
What alterations would you suggest if I simply want to cut BF as quickly as possible?
If I were to get down to single digit BF, would I have trouble putting on additional mass while maintaining a single digit BF?
