do you have your bmr???
Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year )
once you have that number, you can multiply it by an activity number to figure out your daily caloric expenditure, be honest here as this is the very cornerstone of your diet, if you are between two of the below activity levels then just multiply by a number in between them
To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:
If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9

yes did my bmr at moderatly active it worked out 2710
at very active 3071.
considering i have a manual job (construction) i would put it somewhere in between
about 2850
thats why i try to stay around the 2800

and are my food sources good

thanks for input

thanks for advise
when you mention the lean beef, does the tuna not serve the same purpose or should i have the beef as well, would adding cottage cheese to the tuna not do or maybe have more tuna
if i omit the yogurt and fruit i would be under the 150g carbs is this ok
again thanks for advise

The reason for lean beef at the end of the day is it digest fairly slow compared to fish or chicken so it will keep your body feed while you sleep. Cottage cheese is also a good bed time protein source.

Check this thread out it is all about protein before bed. many good choices listed as well as reasons behind them. Also omit the fruit and yogurt but replace them with complex carbs like sweet potatoes or brown rice.

forgot to say that on this diet i am hungry within an hour of each meal
i spent years having around 4-5000 cal per day and i now have a very big appetite.
so reducing cal to this level will take some getting used to.
