I plan on doing Cardio every day, I'm not initiatly starting it till next week. But every day I do cardio, week one, week two, a mile, then I up it everyweek by a 4th of a mile till I get to 3 miles that I'll run.
There is no need for this much cardio, in my opinion this is overkill and will cause your to lose muscle. If I understand right you want to be doing 3 miles of cardio a day for 6 days? You really don't need to do that much. 3-4 days a week is sufficient and I would suggest looking into HIT cardio which makes you exert more effort in shorter cardio workouts. its been proven to burn more fat than conventional cardio. This amount of cardio is what marathon runners train with, unless you want a lenky body like them you don't need this much.

Your diet is pretty lacking. I only count 40 grams of protein not counting the meals you don't have planned. You want to eat protein with every meal and should be aiming for AT LEAST 1.5g of protein per lean body mass. (take your take your weight minus your weight*BF% to get your lbm.) You should really be eating some lean meats in there like chicken breasts or lean red meats like ground sirloin. I assume this is a cutting diet, so avoid eating Fats and Carbs together in the same meals.

I would suggest you look up how to calculate your BMR and that will give you a good idea of how many calories you need a day to maintain your weight, you can then subtract calories each day depending on how much you want to lose a week.

We really need more details on your stats (weight/age/etc) and your goals to give you more detailed advice.
