Somebody critique my diet

[6 Pack Man]

I've been on here for about a month giving dieting advice to everyone, well now it's everybody's turn to help me out. I changed my diet a little bit, by adding more real food for my post morning workout and some more food before I went to bed because I'd wake up hungry sometimes in the middle of the night. When I got the macro break down of it, it looks pretty bad compared to my other diet as far as carbs and total calories. I was just wondering if anybody here could see any adjustments that could be done on this diet. BTW, I am cutting, but wanting to keep as much muscle as possible. Also let me know what you think of the pre workout meal, this look good, or see any improvements here? Should I stick with slow digesting protein, or go back with they whey for fast digesting protein here?


Meal 1 (pre workout)
1/2 cup of oatmeal, 1 whole boiled egg, 1 cup of skim milk
308 cals, 20g protein, 7.5g fat, 40g carbs

Post workout shake
2 scoops of whey protein and 2 scoops of dextrose w/ water
501 cals, 42g protein, 5g fat, 72g carbs

Meal 2 (this meal isn't very big, but due to work it's coming following my post workout shake within 1 hour, so I'm not hungry at all)
5 egg whites, 1 whole egg
137 cals, 21g protein, 4.5g fat, 3g carbs

Meal 3
1 can tuna in water, 1/2 tbsp of olive oil, 3 servings of green veggies
269 cals, 36g protein, 8.5g fat, 12g carbs

meal 4
same as meal 3
269 cals, 36g protein, 8.5g fat, 12g carbs

meal 5
1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese and 1 chicken breast
236 cals, 47g protein, 4g fat, 4g carbs

meal 6
1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese, 1 tbsp of flaxseed oil, 2 slices of turkey
260 cals, 23g protein, 16g fat, 6g carbs


totals:
1980 cals, 225g protein, 54g fat, 149g carbs

too few calories in my opinion and protein should be at least 300 a day

In my opinion, the food choices look good. I have also found that generally adding more "real" food helps keep full for a longer time.

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I was thinking not enough calories. Need to get them to around 2200 and I should be doing good. I've always went with 1.5 protein per body weight, so 300 is a little bit. Need to get it up to around 250 though. What I'll probably do to get the protein to 250 grams is add either turkey, fish, chicken or tuna, or just alternate between them with meal 2 since it's so small. I'll just have to force myself to eat it. That should get my protein up to where it needs to be, and since the carbs a kind of low, I'll include either brown rice or an apple with meal 3 or alternate between the two. That way I should hit 2200 cals and get plenty of protein and carbs now. How's those adjustments look?
