To get ready for summer, I decided that I would try to cut...by this I mean get leaner, lower my bf, and not lose so much muscle. I'm 5'8 at 175 lbs and I'd like to get to 165. On a regular day, I'll eat 6-7 eggs (most whites) and two slices of whole wheat bread. I'm a college student so I'll take a shake to class or a small snack. My other three meals separated by 3-4 hours apart consist of lean ground turkey mixed with eggs or chicken breasts or some tuna, both with brown rice and a side of brocolli. I'm also trying to portion everything so I don't end up stuffed after each meal.
I'll workout and take my Krealkalyn before and after (just bc my friend gave me a bottle for free). I'll mix in my BCAA and a scoop of glutamine with my shake and I'll have one of the meals I mentioned above. Also trying to keep the carb consumption lower towards the nightime.
I'm trying to workout a little earlier to get my sleeping pattern down to 2-10am. As for cardio, I aim for 4-5 days a week with a mixture of sprints or jumpropes or anything that'll get my heartrate up for 20-30 minutes.
Am I missing out on anything? Is my goal realistic at this point?
Any feedback would be appreciated :)

Everything looks cool. Just have one question about the sleep though. Why do you go to sleep that late? For job reasons? Personally I feel healthiest when I stick to a light/dark routine, ie. I go to bed relatively early and wake up when it gets light. Supposedly it's the natural thing for humans to do to get as much light as possible, I used to think it was crap but ever since I started doing this it's helped.

Work related stuff...I'm a part time teacher so I spend my nights correcting homework in addition to doing homework. Yea, I tried sleeping earlier before and I was amazed at how much energy I had for the day. I'll work on the sleeping pattern thanks for the advice!

Everything looks fine. It's realistic depending on your current bodyfat. I'm assuming it's pretty low since you weight 175. If so it'll be a little harder than the average man looking to lose 10lbs but keeping your diet in check and increasing the intensity of the cardio you should be fine.
