I've got a weight loss diet with suppliments in place. Does this sound about right?

I'm a 30 year old male. I'm 6'2", 300 lbs. My body fat is probably anywhere between 40 and 45% (give or take). To be honest, I look like I weigh about 250 but my height distributes the weight so i don't look like a beach ball. Anyway, a couple of years back I lost 60 lbs in about 4 months. Even though I got great results, I now realize I was doing it all wrong...not enough calories, not the right suppliments, the usual mistakes. This time I want to do it right and I've doen a lot of research (mostly on bodybuilding.com...great website...lots of information) on my diet and losing weight and I've come up with a plan on what to eat, when to eat it and the suppliments I should take (they're listed below). I'm not looking to be a muscle head or look "ripped to the max". I just want to be in good physical shape with good muscle tone like most people. If someone could just take a quick look at what I've got and give me some feed back, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!Here's my plan:I'll eat 3500 calories a day. 40% of those calories will come from protein (350 g), 40% from carbs (350g), and 20% from fats (78 grams). My meal plan below doesn't list the calories but they'll be distrubuted so they're as even as possible:6:00 am-breakfast: egg whites, whole wheat bagel, bananas, multi vitamin7:30 am-pre workout whey protein shake (15 g)10:00 am-post workout shake (maltodextrin, 54g, dextrose, 54 g, whey protein, 55g, BCAA powders, 3g, half tablet of multi vitamin, 2 cups of water) 12:30-lunch: chicken breasts, whole wheat pasts, broccoli, brown rice, apple, whey protein3:00-mid afternoon meal: water packed tuna, baked potato (plain), almonds or peanuts, string beans, whey protein5:30 pm-evening meal: salmon steak, steamed spinach, pinapple, whey protein8:00 pm-wife's cooking (she's very good at cooking healthy meals)10:00 pm: whey protein shakeI'm going to work out every morning starting around 8:00 so I think my morning meals are fine. Where I get a little hazy is my post workout shake. I don't want to be a body builder and but I don't want to lose muscle either (I lose weight VERY quickly). Is that shake appropriate for my goals?Another question would be about Fish oil, Flax seed oil, and omega 3 oils. Should I include these in my daily diet as well?One last question, is there a post workout shake out ther that will supply me with all of the ingredients I mentioned in my post workout shake? I dont' want to have to be mixing all that stuff all the time. I saw an EAS commercial (with Brady Quinn) and I'm thinking that's probably what it might be. Help me out here guys!!!
