Help with Diet/Supplements

Hey everyone, I am new here, so hopefully I won't be breaking any rules. If I do, I apologize in advance.

I spent 8 years in the Marines, and after I got out, I continued to eat like I was still in the military, but didn't train as hard. In November of 2006, I was at a mind boggling 209lbs. with about 24.9% BF. I am 6ft, just for reference.
I decided to not diet, but rather change my lifestyle of eating and training. Currently here are my stats

168lbs
12.9-13.9% BF
Work Out 4 - 5 Days a week with about 15 minutes of cardio post workout 2x week.
My strength levels are great, I feel great, and my diet is pretty clean. An example of my diet is:

9:00am - Protein Shake (Evepro 2 scoops with Mootopia Fat Free Lactose Free, with 4 g sugar as opposed to the 14 g others have.)
12:00pm - Grilled Salmon,Tilapia,Tuna, Chicken Breast or Turkey Breast with some type of Brown Rice or Whole Grain Pasta and maybe some type of Salad with a Sugar Free Dressing and Redwine Vinegar
3:00pm - Same Deal as the 12:00pm meal, or perhaps another protein shake
6:00pm - Same Deal as the 12:00pm meal, or perhaps another protein shake, but never two shakes in a row.
9:30pm - 5 Scrabmled Egg Whites, one whole egg with some 99% fat free Turkey, and a piece of Fat Free Cheese.
If I am still up past 11:30pm, I will normally drink a shake before bed.

My Training Days are broken down into one solid body group per day such as

Mon. - Legs
Tues. - Biceps And Triceps
Wed. - Shoulders and Traps
Thurs. - Back
Fri. - Chest.
I will alternate days with cardio or ab training.

The reason for my post is to one, get some feedback on my diet, training, and also, I still have some lower abdominal fat, that I would love to shed. I am looking for that six pack, and I have until July to get there. In the morning, my stomach is pretty nice compared to what it was, but I want to lose a little more. I recently ordered some Hot Rox, and also some Methly 1-D and the I-GH-1 that comes with it. Does anyone think these products help. Ideally I would love to be about 175lbs. and super lean. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Its seems like you have made some good progess, nice work! You lost 40 lbs in 6 months.

As far as your diet goes, I would add some healthy fats to it (i.e. Fish oil, Flax seed, olive oil, Natural PB, Almonds, etc.) and veggies, since it looks to be a little lacking in both.

I have never taken Hot Rok, but I have heard it can e prtetty intense as far as causing jitters. I have currently been taking TIGHT for about 3 weeks and I really like it. It was recommended to me by several friends that use it to cut before competitions. All of these products will help to an extent but it all will come down to your diet in the end.

What is your calorie intake like?
