I am in the middle of an entire life change. Right now I am eating Kashi go lean for breakfast and a salad for lunch with turkey and oyster crackers. For dinner I normally have some meat or poultry (no more than 5 ounces) and some veggies. I might have some rice, but most of the time I don't. I eat fruit for snack like oranges or apples. I also snack on Kashi because it helps fight the hungry monster. Besides that I do 30 minutes of cardio a day. My question is... Am I doing the eating part right and also, is cardio the best thing to burn fat. I already have very good muscle structure under the fat and I don't want to get bigger. How do I do it?

Increase your rice intake as daily meal and reduce your usual
consumption or diet. Maintain that body with your routine exercises.

find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

I would not be concerned with gaining too much muscle when training natural, women produce 1/10 the amount of men do and it's near impossible for them to become "big" with out taking supplemental testosterone.

when you are walking down the street how many women do you see daily in there 30's and 40's with too much muscle?
