3000 calorie 'diet'
So my aim is for 3000 calories, according to myfitnesspal this comes in at just under that, with macros of
286 carbs
87g fat
253g protein
I know I don't need that much protein but made up excess calorie with more protein, sure some will say my last 'meal' is bit crap but by then I won't be hungry so made up calories with milk, but as I said I will be having stuff when hungry so might have the milk with dinner and then leave it.
I know I don't need to eat 6 times a day, I will eat when hungry but just set it out this way, it's all foods I really like and hit my mininum macros, but i am newbie so might be but crap so suggestions welcome.

The fat free products is to balance out macros, I love carbs so wanted lots with excess calories after protein and fat
Sure I will have some so called crappy foods to and fit them into my macros, but for whole I aim to stick quite closely to above foods as know I will stick to that as all foods I really enjoy...brb McDonald's.
Cheers, hope it's ok but probably **** :D

You shouldn't really need that much protein unless maybe you are cutting which I doubt on 3k cal. Should be more like around 1g protein/1lb of lean mass if i'm not mistaken. So you could swap some of that extra protein around for more carbs in your diet if you are a carb lover.
And yeah post weight and other stats

get tuna in water
put in 50g almonds for some more fat

I am 5'10 and 170 and according to wonderpug I am around 16% body fat, but with little LBM, so I don't want to cut as I'll just be smaller version of what I am with little muscle, so on wonderpugs advice I am eating 10% above mainteance, my tdee is just under 2800, going to start at 3000 and adjust as I see fit.
And I know I don't need that much protein but doesn't matter if I do have it either.

Yeah I was thinking of maybe downing the protein a bit to add more fat, but wasn't sure
