Examine and Critique My Diet I think I need help!

Hey guys i kinda hit a plateau and wanted some advice for getting the last 20 pounds off. Here is my diet and workout routine please be critical!!!

Breakfast: Usually protein shake, bananna, oatmeal, and orange juice.

Mid Morning Snack: Fresh Fruit of some kind varies from apple to peach to strawberries

Lunch: Turkey Sandwich on whole wheat, fresh fruit and water to drink.

Mid Afternoon Snack: Fresh Fruit same as my mid morning snack sometimes a granola bar.

Pre Workout: Protein Shake

Post Workout: Usually this is dinner time for me I have a lean protein source such as chicken or beef tonight I had grilled pork loin chops I try to change it up as often as possible. I also have some sort of steamed or fresh vegetable to go along with it and a salad.

Late Snack: Usually peanut butter on celery sticks and a glass of water



Work Out

Mondays: Run/Walk HIIT program for thirty minutes today I started running with 3 lb dumbells. MY ARMS are sore to say the least!

Tuesdays: 15 minutes of light cardio and upper body workout. I usally cover the chest, arms, and shoulders. I try to do high reps at lower weight cause I only have so many pounds of weight on my home gym.

Wednesdays: Run/Walk HIIT program for thirty minutes same as monday.

Thursdays: 15 minutes light cardio and lower body workout. Abs and legs and back. Same thing as upper body high reps at lower weight.

Fridays: OFF

Saturday: Run/Walk HIIT program for thirty minutes

Sunday: Run/Walk HIIT program for thirty minutes

Be cruel if you have to, but give me honest advice I have come along ways since I started 11 inches off my abdominal area and 65 pounds of me are gone. I just want that last 20 and I'll be happy. I am 6'5" and weigh 195. I consume around 2800 calories per day give or take. I don't drink pop or eat sweets so somewhere I have to make just a slight adjustment and I can kick this plateaus A$$!!!
 
More detail, be specific. Give exercises, sets, reps, etc...

Last time I checked the back is part of the upper body too;) not the lower.

If you are only lifting twice a week, I would do one day pushing and one day pulling.

A big part of getting through a plateau is variation and changing things up, if you haven't done that already, start changing.
 
if you only have light wts than don't do high reps, use short rest such as 8 x 8 with 30secs rest between sets of 10 x 10 so intensity is still high enough for muscle growth...diet looks alright though
