This is a very good and very common question taco, do a search for "cutting" and see what pops up. THere is a TON of info on this subject since someone new comes on here about every week asking the same question. Im not baggin on ya', you would be surprised how info you will get after you search. Good luck.

i guess the key to taht would be to take it in moderation...if you cut too many cals quick, you will lose muscle...a few basics is eating clean....try not to let yourself go past a certain amount of calories a day which will depend on your weight,muscle mass,age,etc...cardio but not too extreme...maybe around 30 to 40 min a day moderate to high intensity...and lower carbs extremely at night...and maintain plenty of protein..at least 1 gram per lb.

How much fat are you getting with that? Seems like a lot. You are also seeming to get a lot of simple carbs compared to your huge volume of protein.
2 hour workout! Jesus, what are you doing for two hours. Try stepping that up and finish within an hour.

Post your exact diet:
eg:
Meal 1:
y cups of cereal (brand x)
z cups of skim milk
w scoops of whey
TOTAL: xx calories, zz carbs, vv protein, yy fats
Meal 2:
... etc...
what you posted above is not really enough ('some cereal' could mean anything from fibre 1 to cheerio's and 'can of tuna' could mean 12 oz or 3 oz!!)...
