Help with cutting

[CollegeRugby]

I had some questions answered that bugged me in my other post but I have some more. For 3 weeks I've been cutting fat.
I eat 4 meals a day :
breakfast: 4 egg whites, glass of skim milk, 2 pieces of mellon or bunch of grapes, and 4 strips of bacon or 2 sausage links.
an hour later I grab a v8 or an applesauce
lunch: two cups of cottage cheese, a turkey on whole wheat w/tomatoes, pickles and no sauce, cup of mixed vegetables.
an hour later I eat another turkey sandwhich
dinner: two cups of cottage cheese, a broiled fish fillet or non-fried chicken breast, glass of skim milk, one cup mixed vegetables.

Workouts: monday : 45 minute of eliptical climbing
45 minute of upper body lifting
tuesday : 120 minute of rugby practice running
~if i make it~ 45 minute lower body lifting
weds: 120 min rugby practice running
~if i can make it~ 45 min upper body liftin
thurs: 120 min rugby practice running
~if i can make it~ 45 min lower body liftin
friday: 60 minutes of high bike
no lifting due to game on saturday

I apologise for not giving more detail about my lifting scheme but I wrote this in a rush. Could anyone whose succesfully cut fat before or knows of a good diet/ workout scheme want to aim me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks

How much do you weigh currently and whats your caloric intake at? You seem to be eating a lot.. Also, you might want to try stretching your meals out a bit more, like instead of that second sandwhich an hour later after lunch, cut it in half and have a 3rd meal in the 3rd/4th hour. That might work better for you.

You're eating far too many calories in one sitting for a cutting cycle man. 2 cups of cottage cheese (2% milkfat assumed) is 400+ calories and 62g of protein...and you add ot that a turkey sandwich (avoid bread when cutting, BTW). That's easily another 300 calories. a 700 calorie lunch and you don't understand why you're cutting isn't successful?

5-6 meals, not 4.
30-40g protein per meal tops. it needs to be lean protein..none of this sausage and bacon crap!
cut out all processed carb sources (breads, pastas, 'quick oats) and stick to oatmeal, steamed brown rice, and cold cereals with 3g of fiber per 100calories (there are few...try Fiber One, or most of the Kashi brands)

basically you're over eatign at meals, but then not eating often enough, so the body yo-yo's because it can't utilize that many calories in one sitting, but then you don't feed it again when it can use those calories.

eating 6 times a day prevents the body from thinking its starving, so it can effectively use fat for energy.
