How much research have you done on BF loss diets? You say you have already lost 15 pounds, so the diet must be working for you, athough you could certainly make a few alterations.

Multiply your weight in pounds by 11 then multiply by 1.5 to allow for your moderate activity level from cardio and weight training to calculate your metabolic rate. Gradually lower or cycle with your calories until you reach 500 calories below this amount.

Where is the fuel for your workouts? You need to add a pre-workout meal/shake consisting of protein and carbs about an hour before your weight training to last for your entire session.

Add some healthy fats such as flax oil or fish oil for energy in your later meals. As long as your insulin is in control, they will not cause you to store fat.

What is your source of vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants? You need to incorporate a large amount of green veggies and limited amounts of fruit into your diet or you will feel like sh*t, especially with the heavy training program. Multivitamins do NOT replace a balanced diet.

Also, you need more of a variety with your protein sources than eating just chicken, milk and eggwhites every day. Use fresh/salt water fish, seafood, turkey, lean beef, peanuts.

Finally, to reduce sugars you may want to cut the milk from your diet... And you'd better be drinking plenty of a lot of water throughout the day with the large amount of protein you're consuming!

Good luck

Forgot to post: take 8 capsulses of fishoil, 2 multivitamins.
Thanks for the replies though!
Ok, so i take a shake before a run. check
take eggs and special k after. check
Workout
PWO shake check

I need more fuel before i workout than the eggs and special k? Should i take oats before i lift? what do you suggest?
 
I like to work with grams of macronutrients over Kcals. I usually go with 1.5g protein per pound, 1g CHO per pound and .25g fat per pound. The carbs are primarily consumed during and after my workouts with a small amount for breakfast.
 
I would add in some carbs. a little carbs after training. you need some carbs to replenish your glycogen stores. plus up your EFA intake. and you need some fiber in your diet. fiber will slow down your digestive system.

Are there supplemental fibers(like capsules?)

yes you can get fiber supplements like metamusil or something like that. but it would be best to get it from whole food sources. Just eat lots of green veggies. I eat a can of beans a day. each can has about 25g protein, 60g carbs, 20 of those carbs are fiber. its not good to eat fiber or fat close to workout time because it slows the digestive system.
 
Just purchased a bottle from vitamin world. 1 caps=1 dietary fiber. How many grams should i try to obtain a day?

try for 30g of fiber a day. try to get most of it from whole food sources like beans, sunflower seeds, brown breads green vegies, etc.
