i am 5'1 and weigh in at 123, not too bad considering i have a toddler, but i am in my early twenties and would like to lose about 5-14lbs. I weight train 2-3 times a week, and I normally do an hour of cardio 3-5 times a week, also i work in a deli so i am constantly moving at work, so my metabolism shouldn't be bad.
my diet usually consists of
breakfast: egg whites with cheese on whole wheat toast or a single serve bag of mixed nuts if i am on the run.
(9am ish)
lunch: is usually either a piece of grilled chicken with ketchup, or a turkey sandwich on whole wheat with honey mustard lettuce and white american cheese.
(3pm ish)
snack: either those little fruit cups in the juice, or fresh pineapple, or a green apple.
dinner: either grilled chicken or a reduced fat peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat
(7pm)
snack: fat free jello or fat free pudding. (late usually around 10 or 11)

so i wanted to know any opinions. am i eating too much, too little, or just not the right kind of things? am i not doing enough cardio?
i feel healthy but i would like to lose some fat to uncover the muscles i work hard to have. any advice would be great. thankyou in advance.
 
Quit eating cheese...CHEATER
Just kidding, you are going to want your carbs in the morning and around workout times. American cheese is pretty bad, so drop it.
Here is something you can check out to get on the right track with nutrition:

You should be eating every 2-3 hours.
Eat a lean source of protein, meat, eggs, dairy, fish.
Eat 1-2 srv of veggies with every feeding.
