Thank you both for the info. I was not so sure if my body fat was wrong from what internet told me. Which it look like it has affected my working out for my stats.
Okay berries defiantly could fit in!

i think that maintenance cals for you should be a bit lower than that. im 5'9 and around 200lbs and mine is around 2,800 so i would figure you are somewhere around that. i would shoot for around 2,200-2,300 a day and go from there. imo switch that banana for berries instead, they are lower in sugar, move that snack till later in the day too. i think 1 tablespoon of olive oil is plenty a day so instead of having two servings of olive oil substitute a half an avocado during an afternoon meal or add some nat pb to your shake. also the banana after workout is unnecessary sugar, fructose isnt readily available and requires some time to process if you were going for an insulin spike after workout. it looks like you are trying to cut so i dont think the carbs after are necessary. overall the protein content is good but i think you need to cut the carbs down to around 100 to start seeing some good recomp results. i have a cutting diet that works well for me so feel free to pm if you want some more details. SuperDbag and Cdaddy set up some good diets as well along with GS, all of them are good to reference when you are looking for diet tips and that is where ive gotten a lot of my diet tweaks from.
