bf somewhere around 18% Trying to bulk at 18%, huh? You'd be better off shedding some of that bf first imo, and if you add a bit more fat while bulking, it's just going to be that much harder to cut in the future without cutting into lbm.

meal 1
4 slices wheat bread 12/52/4/280
2 eggs 12/0/10/140
chk breast 8 oz 46/0/5/220
I agree with scotty that there are better carb sources out there. I would shoot for the cleanest carbs possible (oats, sweet potato, brown rice, quinoa, lentils, etc), especially if you're already at a high bf%. Don't really see the need for two types of protein sources in one meal, but it's not that big a deal.
Workout.
preworkout
casein 24/4/1/110
milk 16/24/0/160
I think you'll find it much more beneficial to your workout if you would add a complex carb here to fuel it. This would be a nice place for that sweet potato. Personally, I would keep it real food whenever possible and save the shakes for post workout where it's most appropriate. Personally, I would make this meal something like lean beef and brown rice/sweet potato.
post workout
whey 24/7/0/110
milk 16/24/0/160
Again, you're already at a high bf%, so I would definitely drop the milk here; it's all sugar anyway. Drop it regardless if it's skim OR whole, and replace with a complex carb.
meal 2
chk breast 8 oz 46/0/5/220
rice 1/2 cup 6/70/0/300
veggie/bean mix 10/30/1/150
1/2 can of tuna 13/3/.5/50
Again, I don't see the need for 2 sources of protein here. Furthermore, given your stats, I would say the 8 oz. chicken will suffice as far as protein macros for this meal. I'll also agree with scotty that the cals are a bit high for your stats. You can rectify this by pulling out the several sources of pro/carb within one meal. In this case, drop the tuna and the bean mix. If you do this to most of your meals, I think you'll find your total macros to better suit your stats as per your goals.
meal 3
ground beef 23/0/8/170
wheat tortilla 4/24/2/130
1 Egg 6/1/4.5/70
Although it's wheat, it's still not the best carb source. Keep the ground beef, but make sure it's 93/7 lean or better. Replace the tortilla with something like brown rice or s. potato. I assume this is 4 oz of beef. I would increase the beef and drop the egg.
meal 4
chk breast 8 oz 46/0/5/220
rice 1/2 cup 6/70/0/300
veggie/bean mix 10/30/1/150
1/2 can of tuna 13/3/.5/50
Same critique as meal 2.
meal 5
ground beef 23/0/8/170
1 wheat tortilla 4/24/2/130
1 egg 6/1/4.5/70
Same critique as meal 3.
meal 6
2 eggs 12/2/9/140
Can tuna 26/3/1/100
Doesn't sound like it would go well together taste-wise. Personally, I would keep this meal your last pro/carb meal of the day, but if you want to stay with pro/fat, drop the eggs and add some evoo to your tuna. You can mix it all up with some romaine lettuce and make a salad if you like.
meal 7
casein 24/4/1/110
milk 16/24/0/160
Cassein's okay, but drop the milk for reasons that I've already posted above. You can add some natty pb to it if it fits into your macros.
