Am I doing it right? (cut)

So im on my first proper cut and I wondered if I was doing it right.
Currently 6ft 1 and ~ 180lbs. With BF laying around 17/18%.

Typical day composes of
breakfast:
4 whole eggs (boiled) with cheese

300 calories
~28g Protein
< 1 Carbs

Meal 2 (Post Gym)
Protein Shake with skimmed Milk

300 calories
~31g protein
~15g Carbs

Meal 3
Seasoned Chicken breast (roasted) with salad

800 calories
~30g protein
~15g

Meal 4
Similar to meal 3 with intakes

800 calories
~30g protein
~15g carbs

Daily total intake = 2200 calories, 119g Protein, 45g Carbs
Cardio for 40 minutes at least 3 times a week, lifting 4 times a week about an hour and a half each time.

Thanks for any feedback

At 6' 1" tall, 180 pounds and ~18% BF you do not carry enough lean body mass to support a cut.

How do your chicken breast with salad have 800 calories and only 30g protein? Aren't 4 eggs = 280 calories? So your cheese = 20 calories?

This x2....Plus with those macros/calories a man could starve to death!

You need to have a base from which to cut and, from what you indicate, you lack that base.

If you really carry less than 150 pounds of lean body mass on a 6'1" tall frame, then you need to build sufficient muscle mass to allow for a successful cut.

EDIT: Per Manu, posting a picture would help.

I embedded your picture from the first link you posted:



You need to bulk...desperately.
