New to EF, Criticize my Routine, Trying to Cut

Each Day I have been able to run 2 Miles & Bike 2 Miles. Also I hit abs pretty hard each day Rotating from weight ab sessions to like a fast pace
P90X type deal.

Hopefully next week I can do light chest, but as of right now I am going to hit the other muscle groups pretty good
I had planned on sticking with a routine similar to this for about a month and see how the results go, but I am
certainly open to any suggestions. Pretty much it is a day to day deal on what lifts I plan on doing, but it will be rotation between
legs, shoulders, back, bi & tri until further notice on the chest. Also I know this isn't the diet forum, but FYI I have cleaned up the diet very well.
Water/ 0% milk, High protein base low carbs medium fat. If I were to break it down id say around 2000 cals, and a 50p / 20 c / 30 f

Supplements: Just some Jack3d and Oxy Elite pro since I used to have a hard time snacking, or waking up in the middle of the night to eat junk food. It helps me a lot.
I would like to get a protein just not sure if it is necessary if I am eating correctly and trying to cut.

Ok enough of me rambling any help, suggestions or criticizing would be much appreciated. Thanks
