Looks cool but what you want is the 2 HIGHEST meals for pre and post workout
rest is just maintanance for the day

Thats alot of bread you have try get longer lasting carbs than that
Switch in some pasta or rice with 1 meal with your tuna ??

mebbe like 50 more g of protein - you can afford the calories right now at 215 pounds - eat that much and im losing 2lb/week
