Diet for total body lifting

Due to my vastly reduced volume (only 9-11 working sets, down from 21), I am also altering my diet a bit. My general meal style will be the same, but I am changing a few things.

1.  Still 5 meals a day
2.  Composition
  High = 40p + 40c each meal (200p + 200c)
  Medium = 40p + 40c breakfast & postworkout, 40p + 15f otherwise (200p + 80c + 45f)
  Low = 40p + 40c breakfast, 40p + 15f otherwise (200p + 40c + 60f)
3.  No Surge or BCAAs
4.  Cycle
  Monday = High (squats & OHP)
  Wed & Fri = Medium (other lifts)
  Tues, Thurs, Sat, Sun = Low (sprints, no lifting)

The above will drop my intake a bit.
High:  -25p, -100c (SWOF & Surge Recovery)
Medium:  -50p, -50c (BCAAs & Surge Recovery)
Low:  -50p (50p -> 40p per meal)
Total weekly change:  -325p, -290c, +15f = -2325kCal.  (includes switching a medium to a low day)
This, combined with my altered routine will hopefully force my body to drop some fat, without affecting strength levels too much.
