Sweet potatoes are rich in micronutrients, steel cut oatmeal is good as well as brown rice. Throw some almonds and protein powder together and mix it up in cottage cheese.

250g of protein is a crazy amount. I would say between 0.8g/lb - 1.5g/lb of LBM is a good number.

Beef pho without the noodles, extra beef slices.

one thing I would recommend is finding a sports medicine office/physician who can test your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR).

This will tell you your daily caloric needs, then you can plan you meals to maximize towards whatever goal you have.

I have been adding volume to my omelettes lately with vegetables. Eggplants, zucchini, mushrooms, tomatoes and whatever else I can find. Just sautee them before adding the eggs.

Then I chop up some cucumber and more tomatoes and leave them on top of the omelette and drizzle generously with olive oil.

Eggs never filled me up before but this seems to do the trick.

How much of a difference was there in your tested daily caloric needs compared to the numbers from the BMR calculators you can find online?

Avocados are good.

To people saying why eat less carbs - I've been training hard for 3 years now and find that the less carbs I eat the more shredded I get. Simple as that. Apart from the carbs in the salads/veg I eat the only carbs I take is a bowl of oats pre workout. Since doing that I've got proper shredded.

Sometimes you just have to see what works for you, imo

One thing I will say is that if I have 4 eggs scrambled it doesn't fill me up at all. If I have four hard boiled eggs I feel full. Don't know why but its true.

Quinoa, spinach, assorted veggie salad. Tons of protein and fiber. A slab of meat.
