Id like some tips from diet experts in here.

this is somewhat my current diet looks like sometimes varies a little depending what i have. im trying to cut hard. about 15% bf

breakfest 9am 5 eggwhites 1 whole egg. scrambled with lil pam. and 1 slice wheat bread 10carbs. or 1/2 cup oat meal. depending.

pre workout 11am
6-8 ounces chicken breast. 1/2 cup brown rice. 1 cup of broccoli.

post workout usually around 1pm - 2 pm or 45/hour after workout.
1 protein shake 2 scoops about 50 grams of protein and 4 grams of carbs. with water. of platinum whey isolate.

4-5pm usually a lean meat either ground turkey or fish.
6-8 ounces 2 cups broccoli.

8pm usually either a can of tuna fish or 3 hard boiled eggs take the yolk out. or sometimes just some veggies. or a protein shake.

im 6' 1/2 230 shooting for the 205 mark.
sometimes in between i will eat a hand full of peanuts, or pretzels.
sometimes i feel like im eating to much. because i feel pretty full all day/night. was thinking about cutting back some, but wanna kept what i got.

No one can give you an advice off of that.. you need to find your maintenance calorie and have an idea of what kind of calorie you're eating a day.. then try to shoot for 300-500kcal deficit

don't take the yolk out.. you need more fat in your diet.. get at least .5g of fat per lb

I would up my cals to around 2.3k You're around my stats and I'm cutting pretty good around that while still gaining muscle.

Cut out the tuna for your last meal. A good snack before bed is cottage cheese. Slow-digesting casein protein. Just one half cup serving of low-fat 2% cottage cheese has 16 grams protein. Those who closely monitor their carb intake may be pleased to know that a serving of cottage cheese yields only 4-5 grams of carbs. Remember: Cut - 10-13 cals per lb of bodyweight. Once you know how many cals you need to start cutting, figure out your P/C/F ratio. Some of these ratios of Protein/Carbs/Fat many have successfully used are: 40/40/20, 50/20/30 or Isocaloric 33/33/33 to name a few. Good luck!!
