I did the Tdee calculation I would say I need around 2500-2600 cal a day to maintain. What would you guys change or add, what other kinds of proteins and carbs can I substitute the chicken rice and potatoe? Any help will be greatly appreciated. What about things like almonds and Natty PB should I be eating this stuff?
Meal: 1
8 Egg Whites or 2 scoops whey depending on time
1.25 cup oatmeal
50g protein / 54g carbs / 5g fat
Real oatmeal I assume, not the packet crap with all the sugar. Add 2 whole eggs and drop the whites to 6
Meal 2:
Lean Ground Beef 150g
1 cup brown rice
30g protein / 60g carbs / 20g fat
Meal 3:
2 Cans of Tuna
3 slices ezekiel bread
1 tbsp Light Mayo
48g protein / 44g carbs / 14g Fat
1tbsp of mayo for 2 cans of tuna is like nothing... you might as well drop it if you can
Meal 4:
Chicken Breast 150 g
1 cup brown rice
40g protein / 40g carbs / 3g Fat
You can sub the chicken with virtually any fish, bison, lean steak cuts, turkey (not deli meat), etc. Brown rice can be interchangeable with sweet potato, yam, quinoa, lentils/beans, oats, etc. Also, where are the green veggies? get them in as many meals as possible

Meal 5: PWO
2 Scoops Whey Protein
40g of Dextrose
30g protein / 40g carbs / 0g fat
Drop the dextrose if you're worried about fat gain, and use a complex carb like oats
Meal 6:
Chicken Breast 150g
200g baked potatoe
35g protein / 60g carbs / 3g fat
Make it a sweet potato, add 2 cups green veggies
Meal 7
1 cup cottage cheese
1 small cucumber
30g protein / 0g carbs / 5g fat
