my major concern would be the amount of fruit in your diet, I'd be estimating that they would between them contain about 100g of sugars (and that's a conservative estimate).

There isn't much there in the way of carbs, especially pre gym for energy,.

Very little carbs and no veg at all.

You definitely don't need three protein shakes. There's a myth that if you want to build muscle you need a tonne of extra protein, you don't. You need extra energy calories and adequate protein (1.5g per kg bodyweight/day is fine).

Serious lack of vegetables also.

This is just a side note but skew the protein toward the morning if you can. Protein near bedtime can interfere with sleep. Sleep is just as important for losing fat as your diet IMO.
