Hi Samuel

First off, if you've been training reasonably hard for more than a year or so, it will be very difficult to build muscle and lose fat at the same time (unless you have amazing genetics).

So the best advice is to break up the year into several "gaining" phases and "cutting" phases.

Your diet looks quite good - high protein, healthy/essential fats, fibre, vegetables, fruit, green tea...you've obviously done your homework. So as long as you manage and adjust your carb intake so that it delivers either your muscle-building or fat-loss goals week-to-week, I wouldn't change anything except that you could accelerate your gains by taking creatine.

Start with a loading phase (although you can just take one or two 3 gram servings per day for 30 days). Following that, ideally take 3 grams just before breakfast and right after training with your whey plus dextrose on training days and have it just before breakfast only on non-training days. Creatine is the safest and most effective sports supplement assuming you have your protein and calorie intake sorted out.
