Nice @Bigbear - I love pistachios but went for other nuts who have better macros. Just a comment/and not telling you what to do but every snack should have some protein. Pistachios do but not much. I used to eat nuts, a piece of fruit, and tablespoon of EVOO for a snack and find I get better results if my snacks contain at least 20 g of protein in them. I eat a lot of raw eggs and until someone convinces me otherwise, I will continue to eat 1/2 scrambled and 1/2 raw. Raw - seconds, scrambled - few minutes on a hot cast iron skillet.
Just an opinion but good to see you mixing in vegetables with low carbs.
I would dump the desert but that is easy for me to say because I hate sugar and don't eat deserts as I don't like the flavour. I could eat a bag of chips or a box of crackers so I don't keep them in the house because inevitably I will break down and eat them.
Love feta cheese but keep forgetting to pick it up.

Believe you are more lean based in your pics. I am almost 240 now and not trying to gain weight. Just not watching my calories like I was and not restricting carbs as much. I can maintain 220 lbs with 2500-2700 cals pending I'm not overly active. If I cut back down on my carbs or carb cycle, I will drop weight I assume. It isn't coming from gear unless TRT is a cycle. Either way - no one is calling me for a photo shoot so I'm not worried about it lol.
 
Changing things up and not so concerned with carbs and high protein. It's a trial for a month.

Meal 1: 3 cups of coffee with 1% milk and cream (trying to get away from cream), multiple glasses of water/one with a tablespoon of ACV, 1 banana, 2 clementines, 1/2 cup of cream of rice, and scoop of Vega sport protein for flavour with the plain cream of rice.

Hour later weights / exercise.

Meal 2: 2 cups of 5% greek yogurt, 1/2 scoop of Vega sport for flavour, 3 tablespoons of organic walnuts, and 1/2 cup of mixed berries all mixed up.

Meal 3: 4 whole eggs, 1 slice of gluten free bread (allergy) and 1 cup of asparagus.

Meal 4: 8 oz top sirloin, 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of Jasmine rice, and at least a cup of raw broccoli dipped in 2 tablespoons of EVOO and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinaigrette.

Meal 5: (just a snack) - 1 banana, 1 large tablespoon of natural PB, and a scoop of Vega Sport protein in water. Am trying to find an alternative source to protein powder besides red meat and chicken but for now I will continue in this direction. I found an organic soup I like cold and often take a large drink with this meal - macros not 100% sure, but it is mostly carbs with a little protein. I need a snack before before bed or I will be hungry and won't sleep well.

3010 cals / 275 grams carbs / 124 grams fat / 208 grams of protein - all approx.

Just an experiment but I don't find much a different between 200 and 300 grams of protein yet. Inevitably, I will switch it up as the summer draws closer. We are trying to make a concerted effort to ensure we pick up fresh salmon, or fresh cuts of meat daily vs. going to the grocery store once a week and freezing it. It tastes better - especially the fish. Eggs are from free range chickens up the road from a farmer.

Always interested in other's opinions but I believe variety is important when it comes to fruit and vegetables. Clementines, apples, bananas, mango, pineapple, etc. Veggies - stick a lot with cruciferous but mix in some carrots, green beans, spinach, etc.

Big fan of varying foods to prevent creating intolerance and different macronutrient profiles.

Fruits- i also like to mix in papaya and cantaloup. Tons of berries. Bananas and kiwi especially the golden ones

Veggies- carrots, zucchini, Romain, spinach, red peppers.

Carrots and turnip in the air fryer with sweet potato, mix with olive oil, thyme, and some salt are great.

I really tried to branch out lately with my protein sources. Luckily there is a great butcher next to my office and a fishmonger up the street. Pork tenderloin, bison, ground turkey, boneless chicken thighs, great adds to eat less beef and chicken breast

Fish, I love king salmon, Arctic chair, halibut and cod. Scallops are great too. Try for 3 meals of fish per week. Including sushi weekly

As much as I appreciate your suggestions, and put some thought it into it after and could list multiple kinds of fish but due to the benefits of salmon over some of the other the better half has been been picking up salmon a lot. I don't complain as I love it. We eat a ton of different peppers - raw and cooked on home made pizza, in chicken stir fries, long story short - we are omnivores and are meant to eat both. I ate sushi, because I love it/price was reasonable, and it was close to work when I was an employee. I won't ever touch sushi again - I was infected with multiple helminths - and had stomach pain, lost weight, etc. I did my own research, diagnosed myself based on the uptick of infections in Canada, and treated it with the old fashion herbal methods. You can buy boxes to make it easier with all the ingredients but we already had 90% of the herbs, and some of the better ones were not in the formulas in the para-cleanses. Once I started treatment and my body because an unpleasant host, I won't get into the disgusting details but it because extremely obvious I was infected so I called my doctor and took some in. We did a few tests and was given membendazole for 3 days. For people who have doubts if they have been infected you have to make sure you ask the doctor to put down on the lab requisition not just to look for microscopic infections and to check for helminths.
Anyway, the first was negative even though they had had the worms because they look for two known microscopic infections popular in this area and ignore the rest at the lab. Once the doc sent in a second requisition asking about round worms, tapeworms, and different flukes, etc. it was positive. After the mebendazole which wasn't pleasant it pretty much kills everything except it isn't the best for flukes.

One of the reasons ACV is used as a good anti parasitic agent, it can help break down the barrier around a lot of the helminths and in many cases the herbs taken are not necessarily killing but making your body an unpleasant place to live. There are three herbs that are great but hard on the body - enough to kill the parasites but not you. I would have to read my recipe again but I recall reading the ability of three to get the worms, their eggs, etc. One was clove, blackwalnut and while not one of the three always included Goldenseal due to some of the ingredients.
If you ever get blood work done and your eosinophils are high it is a sign of a potential parasitic infection. Enough on this disgusting subject.
I will shut - up now.

What I gather from your other posts is that you carb cycle as well? I’m guessing this is a rest day?

Nope, this is everyday, training and rest. The only exception would be the cheat day which currently lands every 6th day which technically makes this a carb cycling diet or cyclical ketogenic diet. 1 pizza hardly carbs me up though lol.
