Will this diet do the trick?

I'm about to start a new diet tommorow, and wanted to have you guys take a look at it for comments and possible changes. I'm currently 5'10 205lbs with probably around 18% bodyfat. Needless to say, I wanna add as much muscle as possible, but at the same time cut my bodyfat to the -10% range. I plan on doing this with a combination of intense lifting in the morning before work, and intense cardio after work along with this new diet and the cycle I just started. So here's the diet that I've decided to go with to get the job done.
Meal one (4:30 a.m)
2 servings of amino2222
1 yogurt cup
1/4 cup oats
5 grams creatine
10grams glutamine
485cals 50g protein 55carbs

5:15 weight training

Meal two (7:00 a.m)
1/2 XXL RTD
1serving amino2222
10g creatine
10g glutamine
670cals 47 protein 115carbs

Meal three (9:00 a.m)
1serving Pro complex
1yougurt cup
436cals 60 protein 30 carbs

Meal four (11:00 a.m)
1 Healthy choice meal
12 ounces skim milk
1 yogurt cup
1 serving amino2222
700cals 56protein 80carbs

Meal five (1:30p.m)
1/2 serving pro complex
1 yogurt cup
300 cals 32protein 30 carbs

3:45 p.m
1 serving amino2222
10g glutamine
122cals 22protein

4:30-5:00p.m intense cardio (sprints& hills)

Meal six (5:45 p.m)
Healthy choice meal
12 ounces skim milk
1 yougurt cup
1 serving amino2222
700cals 56protein 80carbs

Meal seven (8:00 p.m)
1 serving pro complex
260 cals 55protein 3carbs

Will also drink a small gatorade during weight training and after cardio. If I wake in the middle of the night, like I usually do because of all the water I drink, then I'll take a serving of amino2222 before going back to bed. Because of these two factors, I'm adding a little bit to my daily totals. Will also take a multi vitamin twice a day.
Totals: 3900 cals 390protein 400 carbs fat under 25 grams.

For those familiar with AAS curious about my cycle while doing this diet:
wk 1-10 test enanthate 500mgwk
wk 2-10 deca 250mgwk
wk 2-9 winstrol tabs 40mg day. ( 3before weights 1 before cardio)
.25 armidex a day week 2-12
All feedback appreciated. Thanx.
 
-too many supplements, not enough real food

-not sure of your metabolism, but the calories seem quite high

-why aren't you eating any fat???

-you probably don't want to lift every day, and you definitely don't want to do intense cardio every day
 
The reason for all of the supplements is because of the fact that I don't have much time to prepare real food. That's also the reason for me using healthy choice meals. I do manual labor all day at my job. I figure that coupled with the training would keep the calories from putting any unwanted weight on me, but they would be enough to feed my muscle growth. There will be some fats in there. I'll probably add some flaxseed oil, or fish oils just to make sure i'm getting the fatty acids I need. I figured with the high number of carbs though, I didn't need to go real high on the fats if I wanted to lose alot of fat off my body. I lift monday through sat and the cardio will be on mon tue thur and fri with leg workouts taking the place of the cardio on wen and sat being a leg day only. That's another reason I tried to get the calories so high in this diet, to support all of the training I do. Is this not a good idea?
 
IMO, you would accomplish your goals a lot faster if you ate more real food. Ditch the frozen dinners and all the protein supplements. I understand you're busy, but most of the rest of us are too. Spend a couple of hours on the weekends grilling or baking up a ton of chicken. Get a huge bag of frozen broccoli and steam it. Get some fish oil caps. There ya go, chicken, broccoli, and fish oil. A complete meal.

There shouldn't be any excuses for not having time for real food. It's really just a matter of how passionate you are in seeing progress. I didn't see enough/if any natural sources of protein in your diet, which should be your number one priority. Supplements are only used to 'supplement' an athlete as an enhanced source to their natural consumption. I strongly advise to look over that diet and add more lean, natural sources, and take out processed foods and extra supps.

Thats also alot of training so track yourself and make sure your not OT'd after awhile. Its okay to lift a little more on AAS but you cant overdue it.

Alright. So how about this. I replace the first frozen dinner with 1 whole baked chicken breast, enough rice to equal about 40 carbs or so, 12 ounces of skim milk and a yogurt. Then replace the second frozen dinner which will be my dinner with a steak of some sort and a baked potato or maybe egg noodles boiled in chicken broth... just something to once again equal 40 complex carbs and another glass of skim milk. Then before bed, my 8 p.m would be another steak or chicken breast with a serving of amino2222. I wanna make sure I get a good dose of protein and amino's to sleep on. If this is better, could yall help me out with what kind of steak would be best? I usually buy what's called a round steak. They come in packs of two and are usually pretty cheap compared to the other cuts of meat ( ribeye, t-bone etc.). Also, how can I tell how much protein I'm getting out of these meats, and how much protein can I expect to get out of a whole baked chicken breast?
