How well will this work?

Hey guys, I'm on a vigourous cutting cycle right now and I was wondering how long you guys think it would take for me to get down to about 8% body fat. I'm currently 21, 5'10 and weigh about 180 lbs. From my estimates I have probably around 12% body fat. I personally don't mind if I drop a little bit of muscle in the process, as I doubt it would be a problem to gain in back late summer when I begin bulking again. I have taken ECA stacks the last two years when cutting up for summer and I've decided to try and go completely natural this year so I can prove to myself I don't need drugs to get ripped. Anyways, here is what my day/week is like. There is some variance in the meals, but lunch and breakfast are pretty standard. I'm pretty sure i have a massive deprivation of calories, if it will help me get ripped quicker, i'm willing to sacrafice a bit of muscle.. anyways.. here goes

6am: Wake up, drive my dad to work

7am: Hop on the tread mill for 20-30 minutes

730am: Have breakfast, usually 4 egg white and a yoke or a english muffin with peanut butter

830am: Go to work

9-11am: Sit at a desk and work and drink a shit load of cold water

11-1130: Eat lunch - Usually consists of a whole wheat kaiser with 100-200g's of Turkey Breast, a squirt of mayo and lettuce. Diet Coke, and occasionally 250g's of Cottage Cheese

11:30-2pm: SIt at desk and work, drink a lot of cold water

2pm: Drive home

2:30pm: Lift Weights (Split is Day 1:Shoulders, Day 2:Back & Legs, Day 3:break, Day 4:Chest, Day 5: Bis & Tris)

3:30pm: Cardio (1 hour)

4:40pm: Protein Drink

5pm: Eat dinner, usually Chicken, some cottage cheese, some mixed vegetables

5-10pm: Either hang out with girl friend + watch TV or play basketball, Usually basketball is 2x per week for about 1-2 hours

10pm-11:30pm: Read either forums online, books and check email

11:30-6am: Snooze



What do you guys and girls think? Any input is appreciated!
Thanks
Ryan

Looks solid, 3-4 sessions of physical activity spread throughout the day to keep BMR continued elevated...

Ideally, if your agenda could allow it, some extra advantages could be gained if:

- you do the 1 hour of cardio pre-breakfast (to get the full benenfit of getting into fatburning mode from not eating all night)

- do the 20-30 min stairmaster interval style and after 5 pm on days you are not playing basketball, this way you keep the BMR fired up evenly spread througout the day....


Show 'm how it's done Bro!

Thanks for the positive input!
I'll see if I can squeeze a little more cardio in before work, I doubt I'll have enough time for an hours worth, but maybe 40 minutes in the morning and 40 at around 5.
I'll give that a shot.
Thanks!
