Diet advice

Hello guys.
 
Ive been on fit day and logged what I ate yesterday,  this is a typical work day for me.
 
I was rather suprised to see only 1800cals,  id say 2000 to be safe as i didnt know exact portion sizes

I thought i would be neared 3000 as im not really losing weight or fat I dont feel.
 
Anyway my goals are to have a more lean physique but to do that i need to lose some body fat.
 
im 24, 5ft10 and 86kgs,  some cheap scales put me at 23%bf
 
ill put a pic up when im back on my comp if people think it will help
 
So can anyone see what i need to do. less carbs? more protien? less fat?
 
many  thanks
 

Hi mate can you post up timings and what you have at each meal

if you are maintaining you weight then to lose either expenditure needs to go up or consumption of calories down.

thats how it works

whatever fit day says :)
and to be honest it looks like a serious under estimate - for eg museli - the average portion of cereal is 45g not 30, and often museli is more like 55 or more.
milk looks way under
no spread on bread???
100g cooked pasta? a small portion is 150g, medium is 230m large is 350 - according to Food Portion sizes by Crawley which is the Official UK guide :)

Cheers Les, 

I did actually just have a small portion of museli as i was having 2 slices of bread,  these had peanut butter on them.

Yea i was unsure on the pasta weight.

Anyway timings to follow
