Looking for diet advice

I started properly lifting and dietting in around March 2012. At that stage I weighed just 142/3 lbs at a height of around 6ft/6ft1. I was massively underweight and due to eating a lot more than I used to combined with the starting strength program i have been able to increase my weight to 175 lbs.

However, my reason for posting this is that after looking at a bodyfat calculating chart I saw on this forum i would put myself at around 22/23% bodyfat because i am carrying quite a bit of weight on my stomach and hip region, which i have also noticed seems to have increased quite a bit recently. I am by no means fat because my bulk hasnt been really dirty but I would prefer a smaller waist, without muffin tops.

I am wondering if i need to make any adjustments to my diet, which i will be posting below. I basically want to check whether im on the right lines and continue with my bulk as I am or if i should look to shed a bit of the fat i have gained so far by changing something within my diet.

Meal 1: 4 large eggs, scrambled with half a tin of baked beans - 646 cals

Meal 2: 150g Wholewheat pasta, 125g bolognese sauce, Tin of tuna, 1tbsp of light mayonaise - 713 cals

Meal 3: Whey protein, 300ml semi skimmed milk, 100g of instant oats - 633 cals

Meal 4: 2 slices of thick wholemeal bread, 10g light butter, tin of tuna, 1tbsp of light mayonaise - 407 cals

Meal 5: 125g whole grain brown rice, 150g chicken breast fillet fried in oil - 690 cals

Meal 6: Whey protein, 300ml semi skimmed milk, 100g of instant oats - 633 cals

Myfitnesspal records this as 3722 calories, 429g carbs (61g sugars), 265g protein, 103 fat (25g saturated)

Any help is much appreciated.
 
go to my free diet advice thread.. its a sticky.. read post 1 and figure out your bmr/tdee... there are some major flaws to this diet.. look at my example cutting diet...

come back to me with your bmr/tdee we can take the next step
 
I have just posted in there now, i wasnt sure how to accurately calculate BMR because im not sure of my BF but i have posted pictures.
 
3j what do you look like ? Post a pic are you shredded ?

lmao.. no where close to shredded rightt now... between work and getting married and moving in i actually have gotten just a bit out of shape.. 6'4 280lbs.. about 17% bf right now if i were to guess.
 
How old are you 3J? Did you always work in the Health Field? Have you always been a nutritionist? Or is it something you fell into? It seems everyone on here recommends you and I plan on starting a program in January after knee surgery!

im 28.. i was mentored by a high level bodybuilding nutritionist years ago so i have been in the game since i was 22..

its all about experience my man.. its not simply knowledge that is power its the application of that knowledge... knowing what to do with different individuals is why im successfull.. you gain that with experience... you cant learn that in a classroom
