ok for starters, breakfast is just wrong. oatmeal is all carb, egg whites are all protein. they aren't an "or" thing as which you eat significantly affects daily macros. I don't see anything as far as healthy fats goes, and your hormones (testosterone included) are created from saturated fats - too low in fats and your hormone levels go down.
real world best diet advice? scrap this diet. list what you'd normall eat before this, and we'll improve on what normal is a bit at a time. The problem with a "diet" is that once you reach your goal, you are far more likely to revert back to old eating, and then in time old fatness. If you bit by bit change your normal eating in the right direction, its now your normal eating and there isn't an end to eating that way.
pick fat loss or muscle gain first, concentrate on that then work on the other. i'd suggest the fat loss first, it is initially more visible in a shorter time frame (you can lose 1lb of fat a week pretty easily, but you sure can't gain 1lb of muscle a week), plus being leaner will make muscle gains more visible.
Sort of same with the workout. People ask "what will be the best workout I can do getting started" and the answer is "the one you'll actually do". For most people at least for the first few months its mostly important to build the habit of regular workouts than really what their content is. 6 reps per set, 15 reps per set, mostly plyometrics, whatever, doing it is the important part.
