i want to cut up and loose some fat, apart from my training is this a good enough diet? typical weekday:

9am: weetabix, fresh orange
10am: pro peptide shake
dinner: tuna salad (chicken or turkey)
1or2pm: pro peptide
5pm: brown rice with turkey/chicken/prawns with onions and peppers with a little low fat sauce.
7pm: either pro peptide or if hungry a pro meal replacment.

and started to eat almonds during the day to keep me occupied, ohh and a fair bit of water.

surley this has got to be ok to cut down a little!

Too many sakes, too low in good fats, too low in vegetables as well.

I think you will do better off using more prepared meals instead of something comming out of a package, tub, wrapper, etc....

I try and eat a carb/protein/fat with every meal.
Try and avoid the more processed foods.

I think people think that protein powder is some magic powder that packs on muscle.
Don't believe it, I to take 1 shake a day after my workout.
That is the only meal that I would consider processed.
All my other meals are whole foods.
I also use fruits and vegetables in my meals for my carbohydrate consumption.
If I was bulking I would choose the more calorie dense stuff but dieting fruits and vegetables.

Same as mate more than anything I eat whole foods, the occasional CNP protein flap jack and one protein drink only after workouts .

I think if you can eat whole food 6 times a day then great but not everyone can with working full time and the amount of food that is needed. I try and get 50% from whole food 50% from supps also i agreee with the fruit and veg eat loads of it

I kind of disagree with you here.
Why would half of your total meals (probably even more considering the fast lifestyles of most people), consist of processed foods?

Man can not improve on what GOD makes.

Lets use an apple and a can of tuna for example, it is just as easy to eat that than to eating something out of a bag or shake.
Finger foods can be anything, all fruits and most vegetables are finger food.

I pack meat in my bag and bust off some with each meal and that is as easy to pack as a protein shake, I dont even need a glass to mix it in.

I think if you take the time to prepare your food the night before, you will have the same amount of time during the next day to eat and enjoy your food. In fact I think this is a healthier option and I bet this will keep insulin in much better control along with supporting your vitamin, mineral, fiber, cardiovascular system, etc, etc, etc.

Oh, not to mention cheaper too

With all fat loss some muscle will be lost as well.
A good diet and resistance training will minimise the losses.

Anyone that says they can go on a diet and not lose any muscle is just full of it.

Sorry
