I personally dont like the mixing of fats and carbs. If it were me i would make these changes.

Meal 1 is ok but i would rather see whole foods.
Meal 2 drop the peanut butter and flax.
Meal 3 good
Pre-workout snack should be a complex carb and small amount of protein
Meal 4 is ok
Meal 5 is good
Meal 6 same thing drop the fat.

To really get a handle on this you should post up your macros. That doesnt appear to be a whole lot of food.

I have changed it slightly, it works out around 1872 cals. Will this be enough cals to build muscle as well as lose fat?
