That's pretty much as detailed as I can get. I'm 6'3" about 222 pounds. Unfortunatley, I carry a mojority of my weight in my stomach, actually nearly all of it. So i would really like to lose this gut. I was 256 pounds just over a year ago, and have lost that weight through good diet and exercise. I am going be taking BetaLean HP, and a multivitamin every day. Thanks for the help guys.

Looks pretty good to me.

Should I take it as a good thing that people aren't picking this apart? =)

I'm gonna bump this one last time... any suggestions?

You will lose fat more easily if you cut the carbs at night and replace them with fat or protein. If you want to keep the macros the same, then just move those 40 g of carbs from the bread to one of your meals earlier in the day.

Many of these suggestions are merely from experience. They may or may not be applicable in your case.

I'd try to shoot for closer to isocaloric(33/33/33) ratios on all your meals(Except the post-workout where what you have is fine.) Also, I'm not real happy with some of the stuff you're eating, as I think there are better choices, but ultimately I don't think it'll make a huge difference so I won't make a big deal about it. I'm also not a fan of altering calories for lifting v. non-lifting days. I think a better idea is to eat the same on both, and have an occasional refeed depending on your current BF%. Overall, though, it doesn't look that bad.
