we'll get you on the right track....
by looking at your initial diet i can tell your knowledge on nutrition is lacking.... so the first thing im going to do is ask you to follow the link in my signature to my free diet advice thread.. read through it so you get.. get your bmr/tdee.. and work your macros.. (these terms get involved in the thread and explained)
get the ground info in, come back with your bmr tdee..
ohh, and what are you goals??

Meal One – 2 whole boiled eggs – 50/4/95.4/154.4
Whole Wheat Toast – 12.8/53/9/75
Meal Two - Protein shake – 140/0/0/150
Meal Three – Turkey Sandwich with Spread (do not know what spread is) 79/110/46/330
Meal Four – Protein Shake – 140/0/0/150
Meal Five - 2 Chicken Thighs – 123/0/171/303
- Rice - 16/176/3.7/203
Total Protein = 560.8 Carbs = 343 Fat= 325.1 Cals = 1365
Bf % around 25ish
TDEE – 25.5 x 1.5 = 38.25

There is still something wrong with your math Protein looks way too high based on your post so does your fat. How are you getting 171g fat from 2 chicken thighs? and where else is your fat coming from? You list 95.4 fat from 2 eggs???
As for keto, im not a big fan you need carbs but ill defer there.
BTW: Keep your values consistent, post Calories/Fat/Carb/Protein etc. the order isnt really that important but being consistent is. None of your individual values add up to your totals. If they do im not undertsnading how you got to them

Oh those calculations are for bmi and tdee not intended for figuring your fat intake. At least I know where those crazy figures came from
I have no idea if your bmi/tdee numbers are right or wrong but when you post your cal/carbs/fat/prot just use the numbers that fitday are giving you
like 2200/300/300/50 or whatever they actually are

ill say it AGAIN.. i need a DAILY TOTAL FOR ALL YOUR CARBS (IN GRAMS), FATS (IN GRAMS), PROTIENS (IN GRAMS), AND CALORIES (IN CALORIES)
Ill try and help you out here.
Calories 1365
Carbs 85
Protein 139
Fat 21
Looking at the above there are still problems. Like the 2 chicken thighs, there is clearly more than .4g fat. not sure where you are getting these figures. I just went to fitday and plugged in 2 (medium cooked) chicken thighs and the numbers i get are 19g fat, 30g protein, 0 carbs and 303 calories. At least you got the calories right HAHA. You really need to spend a few minutes and put together your menu and pay attention to what you are doing.
