First, you can not spot reduce, meaning you can't single out a specific area in which you want to lose fat.
Second, your diet is poor for a cutting diet and you will need a good 2-3 more meals if possible. What you're lacking immensely is your timing of almost all nutrients. So I will discuss that.
Third, if your cutting and you're focusing on retaining as much muscle mass and preventing protein breakdown, your protein intake must be raised. Carbs are also severely low adding to my original point.
Last, if you aren't illiterate...don't say "den".
K, anyway..
Your meal 1: Protein is fine, but you need whole food and carbs. Carbs are your primary energy source in which is stored within the liver blood/muscles as glycogen (blood glucose). You need to
restore your glycogen after sleeping...fasting. Place eggs/egg whites here, with a low or high glycemic food/beverage. So OJ, whole wheat bread maybe, etc. Completely up to you.
Your meal 2: Not sure when you wake up but the timing between meals is way too low. 2 hours in between if possible. Salad is fine but has very little biological/nutritional value except the fact it will bypass the body. Brown rice, especially since it's pwo, instead of white rice instead of after your workout.
You meal 3: Fine; same as above.
Your meal 4 (post workout?): Protein will not cut it. Implement a banana or two or an alternate form of dextrose dominance and maltodextrin. Gatorade powders are great for this as well. Avoid a high intake of fats.
Your meal 5 (last meal): Just protein would be fine here, along with eggs/egg whites. GeorgeT: cottage cheese would work but is a bit doubtful on a cut. Depending I guess on the brand, there's a bit of carbs from the lactose extract. But nonetheless works if you're an ecto/meso cutting. Milk can also secrete insulin and the amount of whey degraded is insignificant...but can also be taken in.
Other meals...
For quality carbs add sweet potatoes, oats, brown rice, etc. For quality protein add chicken, tuna, salmon, turkey, etc. Can also red meats but the fat content is a bit high. Also should add fibrous green vegetables throughout the day as your cutting diet gets stricter.
I think I covered most of it...
Good luck.
