Try to get your fats from desisively measured servings of oils and nuts - not meat. Shoot for 70g daily. Get the rest of your cals from protein - 350g daily or more, you're a big guy. That should be right in the 3000 calorie range. We'll need to adjust based on your actual TDEE but I imagine it will be close to where you wanna be. Ideally, imo, cals 300-500 back of TDEE on training days and 500-700 back on rest days. No sugar or dairy whatsoever. Fill your stomach with fibrous greens when in doubt.
