My GF comes over and we prepare food for the next 3-4 days. Meaning, she prepares it and I watch. Luckily she's a great cook and can spice everything up without changing the counts. My fridge is almost nothing but containers of pre-prepared food.

Why do you have so many carbs throughout the day? Fuel your body for what youre doing. Youll be able to burn fat and still build or maintain muscle eating this way. Chances are youre a computer through more than 1/2 your day where you are eating carbs then just sitting. What happens when the body cant burn its fuel and its glyocogen stores are full? Stores it as fat!
Carbs upon waking for energy, carbs before workout, and after to replenish glyocgen.
Also in regard to your protein intake...drop the shakes, up the animal protein. I 12oz a day is far from optimal. Shakes are supposed to be supplements not your main source of protein.
