Looks like everything is okey dokey in here. Never payed attantion before, I like the stuff in your sig. What are "hockey shoulders?"

I think you may want to revise your goals, here. Losing 20 lbs of at and adding 10-15 lbs of muscle in 3 months would be a huge achievement for an experienced lifter on heavy anabolics. Its usually more productive to make your goals high, but attainable. For instance, losing 15 lbs of fat while maintaining LBM and strength over 3 months would be a very difficult, but achievable goal.

Good luck with your goals man. Your calories look way low to me though, especially your protein intake. May want to revisit your diet. Just my $0.02.
