please help with cutting nutrition

[Dleary4395]

I finally took initiative and started trying to shed my unwanted bodyfat around a month ago now and it's going very well so far. I've been reading all i can on losing fat and am trying to put it all together to make an eating plan that works for my body. I know that a diet is usually only for a short period of time and a lifestyle change is a lot longer, so i am determined to make it the latter. In all honesty it's a lot easier than i thought it would be to eat clean, because my body just feels a lot healthier without all that junkfood and grease in it. So with that said i'm just looking for pointers and suggestions on my eating habits for shedding body fat.

Meal 1:
1 1/2 Scoop ON 100% Gold Standard Whey Protein
1/2 Cup Fat Free Milk
1/2 Cup Oats
1/2 Tablespoon Natural Peanut Butter
(420 Cals, 46.75 Protein, 39.75 Carbs, 8.5 Fat)

Meal 2(Right after working out):
1 1/2 Scoop ON 100% Gold Standard Whey Protein
(180 Cals, 36 Protein, 4.5 Carbs, 1.5 Fat)

Meal 3(1 1/2 hours after working out):
2 Cans of Tuna
Dash of Tabasco Sauce
1 Slice Trader Joe's Fiber Bread
(220 Cals, 30 Protein, 21 Carbs(with 1 dietary fiber and 5 insoluble fiber), 4 Fat)

Meal 4:
4 Egg whites
1/4 Cup Sunflower Seeds Unsalted
(228 Cals, 20.4 Protein, 7.8 Carbs, 12 Fat)

Meal 5:
Huge salad with Romaine Lettuce, Carrots, Radishes, Bell Peppers, Celery, and Spinach
EITHER:
8oz Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast(240 Cals,52 Protein, 0 Carb, 3 Fat)
or
8oz Salmon Flank(320 Cals, 44 Protein, 0 Carb, 14 Fat)
or
8oz Swordfish Flank(300 Cals, 44 Protein, 0 Carb, 12 Fat)

Meal 6:
1 Tablespoon Natural Peanut Butter
1/2 Cup Milk
2 Celery Stalks
2 Hard Boiled Egg whites
(253 Cals, 22.3 Protein, 16.8 Carbs, 8 Fat)

So at the end of the day it adds up to roughly:
1541-1621 Cals
199-207g Protein
90g Carbs
47g Fat

Suggestions or comments would be great about whether or not i should drop or raise any of those macros or eat different things during the day. Especially meal 4(between lunch and dinner) i have no good ideas for snacks. Also i workout 4 times a week with weights(Back/Bis->Legs->Chest/tris->Shoulders) with 15-20 minutes of light cardio(fat burning heart rate zone) post workout, and 60 minutes of light cardio 2 days a week, and take 1 day completely off. Also, it says my daily caloric needs for the fatloss range with my activity level is 1800- 2400, but with what i eat right now i''m NEVER hungry i don't know if that's good or bad. Please help!!

I think you're ok with the protein.. but I think you could use a little more fat. You are talking about "shredding", which in general I associate with a need for rapid fat loss. However, it's amazing you're not hungry with your current diet to be honest. I lose fat with about 2000 calories per day and I'm still always hungry. I'd say increase fat by about 20-30 grams for starters and see how it works. Fat will help your energy and hormone levels, too.

I'm really never tired eating what I currently eat bow, and As it is right now I have to remind myself to eat because I'm not hungry very often either. Also, a couple weeks ago I had a cheat night and had a DQ blizzard before bed and I woke up hungrier than I've ever been. I have no idea what that means though and whether or not it's good or bad.

I'm interested how it says your fatloss activity range is 1800-2400.
Based on your stats under your DP, I calculated your TDEE to be 3550 - 20% for cutting = 2,840 calories

-21yo
-225lbs
-6ft 4"
-3-5 days a week exercise

Have I missed something?
