Critique my diet and training regimen, Pls.

[Seawolf2k]

I am a 38 year old white male. I am 6’4” tall and I weight 335 pounds (in the morning) and 30.2% body fat. This is the worst shape I have ever been in, in my life! Back in my twenties I was a serious lifter (Borderline Bodybuilder, I never competed) and I hovered around 8-10% body fat. I have been there before and I will get there again. I am way to young to feel this freakin bad. To those ends, I have just started the following diet and training regimen, Critique and suggestions are greatly appreciated. The only supplements I am currently taking are a good Multi Vit, Garlic, Ginko and occasionally an ACE stack when my @$$ is dragging (which is a lot lately but hopefully that will change):

Breakfast: 4 egg whites, 2 whole eggs, 8oz of hamburger and ½ cup (uncooked) Quaker Oatmeal.
Snack: 10 oz of meat (boneless skinless chicken breast preferred) and an apple or a shake made up of 2 servings (scoops) of 100% whey protein. (Eaten post workout)
Lunch: 10 oz of meat (boneless skinless chicken breast preferred) and 2 cups of cooked vegetables (usually Broccoli and Cauliflower), ½ cup of cooked brown Rice.
Snack: 10 oz of meat (boneless skinless chicken breast preferred) and an apple or a shake made up of 2 servings (scoops) of 100% whey protein.

Re: Critique my diet and training regimen, Pls.

First off, congrats to you for making the decision to get back in shape!

A couple of things. Your diet looks great, actually. You might be a bit light on carbs, keep an eye on your energy levels. If it's working for you as is, you have plenty of energy and you're not losing weight too rapidly, 2 lbs/week is safe, then by all means, continue. If you're finding it difficult to follow for any reason, consider Weight Watchers.

Your workouts seem a bit excessive. When cutting, I've found it most effective to lift heavy, low rep, basic compound movements. Good deal on the cardio! I'd like to see you doing, say M-W-F lifting/cardio T-Th cardio/abs Sa-Sun off.

Last, do your cardio after you lift, don't sap your energy from your lifting!
