    1) Fat is way too low. Eat 0.4g per 1lb of LBM at least. Eating fat doesn't make you fat and dietary fat is essential for proper hormone production.

    2) No veggies? Eat some veggies !!!

    3) I wouldn't follow such a strict diet. Simply meet your protein and fat macros each day while eating at a caloric deficit. Of course continue lifting heavy at the gym to retain as much muscle as possible.

    I forgot to add 2 Cups of spinach with noon and 6p meals. How do I add more fat without adding cals? Is there a meal I should remove and replace with a fattier meal? or add anything to it? Should I add any other supplements?

    BeingPaid is spot on. Your total calories seem on the low side for you size, I cut at 2,000 and I only weigh 160lbs. Also, I think you can get away with lowering protein to 1g per pound of lean mass which will give you more calories that can come from fats. Good luck op!

    The fat is too low,add more healthy fats...and if you have money buy whey protein and drink it after your workout.

    I think it looks pretty good, if you aren't getting cut fast enought I would start cutting out those shakes....
