Whats up all you Guru's

I need some help here I wanna get crazy shredded but im battling, my weight has gone from 94 to 90 and i still look the same, BF Is around 10%. I found the carb cycling codex and was wondering will this work, and also i have a feeling my meal timing is wrong. I currently eat as follows:

meal 1 - 2 blocks of Weetbix with some milk and a protein shake
meal 2 - 1 cup of oats a banana and a protein shake (smoothie)
meal 3 - 2 chicken breasts 150gram cooked basmati rice and veg
meal 4 - mass shake 40grams protein and i think 40 grams carbs
meal 5 - same as meal 3
post workout protien shake with all my bcaa's
meal 6 - chicken, fish or red meat with carbs normally rice and veg

my height is 1,86
weight 90kilo's :(

Your problem is your choices of food. You are now at that point where to make progress you need to dial in your diet. Serious vibes. That mass shake is killing you. It's just sugar and crap. Replace the protein shakes with proper meat. For breakfast, do meal 2. NB to get your calories spot on.

First eat the right foods and the right amount of them at the right times, before you go into the technical stuff.

The problem isn't your choice in food it's the fact that u haven't worked out your calories of the food you are u using. The fact u are saying 2 chicken breasts and a cup of oats and a mass shake etc etc etc is the problem. You are guestamating calorie intake. U need to buy yourself a digital food scale and u need to weigh out and measure everything you put in your mouth. At 1.86 and 90kgs u should be having about 2600 calories a day depending on your activity. Remember that everything has calories in it. For example the 2 weetbix u are having contain 4.3g of protein, 23g of carbs and 0.6g of far giving u 126 calories. If I was you I would start yourself on a diet of 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fats. Count everything in each thing. So if u have peanut butter, count the protein the carbs and the fat into your calories for the day, same with oats. Per 100g u get 12g of protein, 56g of carbs and 8g of fats. If u don't know the nutritional value of things, look on the label or use google
100g of raw chicken has 22g protein and 2g of fat. That is for chicken fillets. Lean Beef mince or fillet steak has 20g protein and 10g fats per 100g lean uncooked weight. For 1g of carbs u get 4 calories, for 1 g of protein u get 4 calories, per 1g of fat u get 9 calories. By working all this out u can see where u have been going wrong and over eating on certain things.

Keep your diet basic, take your protein carbs and fats and divide them equally over 6 meals. Dont worry too much about pre and post work out shakes and what not right now. If u are really worried about that sort've thing make sure the meal that follows your work out has a fast digesting protein source such as whey or egg whites as the protein base But
But if u are having adiquit protein through out the day then there will be sufficient amino acids to repair muscle damage
