So, Ive really gotten into MMA and Im thinking of maybe starting to take some boxing classes, join wrestling, and such. The thing is, im a fatty. So I decided to start a diet to lose weight. Im not ridiculously overweight, but I can definitely lose some pounds. Im 5'8, and I weigh about 175.

I came up with a simple idea for my diet. Tuna, Lentils, . When I wake up, I usually wait about 30 till I eat my first meal of the day. Ill eat some healthy cereal with skim milk depending on what i got. Either granolla with like some honey or this Total Wheat flakes (which tastes like tree bark btw). I then, after every 4 hours will eat another meal, but not as big as the breakfast. For each meal, ill decide on eating a serving of tuna with a piece of bread/random raw veggies, a bowl of lentils, or somthing Involving plain chicken breasts. I also have 1 snack a day which consists either of a Carrot or an apple.

Im trying to eat a Diet that will mainly help me lose weight, but also aid with Weight lifting (not to get bulk and huge, but to get stronger). So, what can I do differently with my diet to help?

I'd be concerned with the mercury in tuna. Eating it so often isn't very healthy. I'd go with a lean beef instead or the chicken idea.

a very good, basic, structure of a diet suiting you could be:
small meal every 2-3 hours,
composed of:
a source of protein (20-40g worth) chicken;tuna;eggs;cotacheese;etc
a source of carbs (amount depending upon activity) brown rice;oats;etc
some fat (balance of sat;mono;poly fats) nuts;beef;yolks;oily fish;flax seed oil
and some vegs/fruits, but keep sugary fruits to breakfast bananas;oranges etc
do heavy compound exercises , deadlifts;squats;presses etc
