Lunch - Chicken Breast (6 oz), Broccoli (1 cup)
Mid- Afternoon - Protein Shake with Water
Post Workout - Protein Shake with Water
Dinner- Chicken Breast (6 oz), Broccoli (1 cup)
This can get monotonous obviously, so when I need to I substitute green beans for broccoli and pork loin, shrimp or another lean meat for the chicken that has equivalent nutritional values.
The big consumption (as far as calorie intake) is the three protein shakes.
I agree that I am sure there is better routines than P90X for me, but I could use some guidance. Can you give me a resource that can get the same if not better workout for me in the same or less time? Time is a premium with a small kid in the house, but I have my own weight bench and dumbbells and barbells.

You're definitely gonna lose weight, but if it were me, I would throw in a higher calorie "non-weight loss" day or two per week. Like maybe one of two 2000-2500 calorie days.
You won't gain anything on those days and you'll probably keep your metabolism at a healthier, normal level.
