No if it’s for a sport it’s ok. Just make sure you are eating enough. What do you think your daily caloie level will be based on your menu above?
how old are you? If you are still in highschool you could get to 10% bodyfat by growing muscle.
Macronutrition breakdown? Calories? No, I do not want to do it myself.
I think you are going down the low-fat, lots of cardio route, which IMO is less then optimal but MIGHT work if you are still young.
Veggies. Where? Don`t see them, except some Broccoli.
You had Chicken breast with rice, could have mixed it with some veggies and some healthy oils.
Allready told you what I think of your breakfast.
All in all I have the feeling that you have an ill thought out plan and that you could improve your performance right now by eating better and learning about meal timing without any change in BF whatsoever.
Plus a few cheap supplements like Creatine, Fish oil, and ZMA.
so your saying with the plan above im gonna lose muscle also? i mean 3 days into i can already see some results of my six pack startin to show more… what u mean im tryin to get more carbs and less fat, im just gettin the carbs from mostly fruits and veggies…im tryin to go high protein in every meal. You guys think my carbs are too high? They are mostly complex carbs

I think you would be better off trying to build musle and work on your explosiveness, vertical jump and so on, than to try to lose some fat.
I have no idea what your macronutrient breakdown is and how many calories you eat but it looks awfully low for how “heavy” you are and how much you train.
the mostly fruits and veggies thing is something you can probably skip if you are 18? and working out constantly, as in 3 hours a day?
All in all I doubt that you spend your time wisely trying to lose 3% body fat.
i am working on my explosivenesss and speed and all that, im doing everything the same, i just wanna shape up my diet a little to cut down some fat, thats it
I am really confused man and I get paranoid about this kinda stuff. I wanan do it right. All i wanan do is cut some body fat off. I am still lifting heavy on upper and lower and also sprinting. I just changed up my diet plan. So your sayin Im not getting enough nutrients,what should I add to it so i can correct this.

let us try again:
I do not know if you get enough or too little of anything because I do not know what you are trying to eat each day when it comes to macronutrutients (protein, fat, carbohydrates) and calories and neither do you.
That, in itself, is bad.
So, learn how to do a proper food log and you have a base to start from.
Ok first off, you arent getting lots of protein. You need some kind of animal protein in each meal. Dump the peanut butter sandwich.
You arent getting lots of complex carbs. Fruits, are simple sugars. Fructose=monosacaccharide.
Before you are asking people to give you all this information, you need to read the information on this site. Its good that you are eating good food, but you need to be more aware of whats in that food.
