Hey guys and gals i'm very new to fitness & dieting. Here's what I have so far. I'm pretty sure that I need to add or change this diet that's why i'm asking for critique

. main goal is reduce body fat. I don't want to bulk up and don't really want weight to be higher.

27
5'10
160lbs
about 18% body fat

Meal 1: 1 cup of fatfree yogurt w/ granola, fruits, and honey
Meal 2: Turkey sandwich on whole wheat, mustard, lettuce and other veggies
Meal 3: Grilled chicken w/ grilled fingerling potatoes, veggies and 1/2 cup brown rice
Meal 4: Miso soup w/ seaweed, tofu, and other veggies
Snacks: Include anything from fruits to granola bars
I've recently bought a Whey protein powder to help increase protein intake. I usually drink it after working out. Should I drink it before working out?

Thank you all

Add some more Protein to Breakfast, and snacks. Don't just eat Fruits with snacks, as your body will lose out on Amino acids, and potentially Catabolise muscle.

Thanks guys. I"m adding hardboiled egg whites, tuna, and peanut butter to snacks.

Peanut Butter is a bit fatty ,and can sometimes be Salty, don't waste your time.

Also Tuna. Stick to 1 can every 2-3 days, the potential Mercury risk from 1 can a day, isn't worth it.

Good to know that, I'm not a big fan of peanut butter. I've added legumes and a bit of cheese to the diet.

I would delete the turkey if it's deli.
I would also get rid of the granola kick!
OMG soup has tons of sodium.....
