You are not going to sustain that kind of training.....too much!
If you want to do that much cardio cut on the weight workouts, keep those workouts lite, and maybe do upper/lower scheme

^ Ya to much cardio. Your just going to end up burning off the work you put in with the weights.

Stick with half an hour of moderate cardio after your lifting and ditch the off day stuff.

Also, for your meals...

1)More protein at breakfast, maybe toss down a whey shake on top of what you have there
2) Swap Meal 3 and 4 or add more carbs to your pre work out meal.

Workout and cardio look fine to me. There only 30 minute sessions.

Diet could do with tweaking.

Meal one needs more protein, have more egg whites.

Meal two is also very low in protein.

More meals in general.

Protein after training and cardio

Seems very low on the fats.

You have NO PWO nutrition at all.

Where are the carbs in this diet?

Veggies can be broccoli which are basically no carbs whatsoever?

Water throughout the day.

I would drop alot of muscle on that.

carbs are fine, need more protein and fats though if you are wanting to lose.

what would you guy suggest for some good proteins and fats. maybe some natural peanut butter and avacado

Im also cutting but very afraid of loosing size, I just keep lifting big big big, Bench 100kilos, squat 140kilos keep weights the same, but instead introduce a cardio day, also less carbs and that seems to work for me, Carbs is energy so ya cant really cut em out altoghter, But just be wise wit em. That usually works for me anyone else ??????
