Maybe I didn't clarify that i'm trying to cut fat not gain muscle, but that kind of plan definitely sounds more like the one I used to gain muscle. I finished doing that around thanksgiving (thee big meal). I kept going up pretty steadily until i got to 250 lbs while getting much stronger than I was before. At this point I just felt bloated around the gut and got down to about a natural weight of 236 lbs between thanksgiving and christmas. Now i'm looking to go further down. The one time I went for cutting fat last year for about 3 weeks naturally I went from 230 lbs to 222 lbs.

I'm used to gaining muscle at college because of the state-of-the-art gym and cutting at home because all I need here is occasional jogging and a stationary bike. At home i'm limited to using one barbell with a set of plates to make due with for strength training. I use the barbell not necessarily for any sort of hypertrophy but to prevent atrophy and to keep burning a little more fat.

Tomorrow i'll chime my little two cents about hydroxycut so far...

Next year if I decide to go for more muscle I would tailor my schedule at college to suit a diet more like the one you posted. I'll admit it hard getting the right advice for the right foods to eat depending on your goals. Next year will be easier having a fully equipped kitchen. Dorm rooms right now suck. ADIOS.
