Ok ive been doing a lot of reading, and I think my diet seems reasonable. Heres some details about myself:

6'2 207lbs mostly fat not much muscle

I just started last week I used to eat very little my metabilism was very slow. Since then Ive changed my diet to this:

meal 1:
1 bowl of rasin bran or oatmeal rotate each day.

meal 2:
have 2 eggs if @home if @ school I have a yogart.

Meal 3:
Chicken salad. No dressing just romaine lettace, onion, and chicken.

meal 4:
1 cup of brown rice with some mushrooms, green peppers, little bit of soy sauce.

meal 5:
single chicken breast

If I get hungry threwout the day I have an apple, or cantalope.

Currently do 35 mins on the bike 5 times a week while lifting 4 times a week.

My goal is to lower my body fat and keep, gain muscle mass for more of that cut look.

For supplements been taking glutamine and whey protein powder, and xenadrine.

I would just suggest more protein fro someone your size. Your body needs protein at steady intervals because it can only assimilate so much at a time.
Meal one, add some protein, either protein powder mixed into your oatmeal, or an egg with 4 egg whites.

Meal two you could add some fibrous carbs, an appla or some veggies or some whole grain crackers.

Meal 3 Beef up your salad with more veggies, tomatoes have many benefits for men, as do broccoli, cauliflower, arrots. Dress your salad with Olive oil vinagraitte or flaxseed oil. They are full of beneficial fats that will actually help you lose bodyfat and keep your nerves healthier.

Meal 4 Have some lean protein along with this meal. brown rice is an excellent carb, congratulations!

Meal 5 is good, but studies have shown that a mix of more absorbalble types of protein before bedtime are more beneficial, consider a shake containing hiogh quality whey protein, and maybe some soy protein. Or I like cottage cheese as an evening meal.

Glutamine is excellent, xenadrine, if it works for you... You might want to consider creatine, it has been shown in many studies to help maintain/build lean mass while reducing bodyfat.
You have a solid foundtaion, keep it up!
