Can you guys give me a hand with developing a solid diet? I know there's plenty of info on the matter in the sticky, I've read it several times. Just looking for more perspectives on the matter.
For the past several months, I've been mostly concerned with calories and not eating garbage, as I'm a recovering fatty. I'm a male, 5'11". Started at 350lbs, currently 250lbs.
Dropped the first 100lbs quick eating 1200-1500 calories per day and some exercise. Now that I'm at a more manageable weight, I'm looking to slow the weight loss down and lose the last 75lbs with the a sustainable eating pattern, proper lifting routine and regular cardio, with the intent of actually being fit when I hit my goal.
My macros as of now are approximately 40% carbs, 30% fat, 30% protein. My current staple foods are protein bars (quick and easy on-the-go breakfast, more filling than a shake, and goes well with my coffee), greek yogurt, bran cereal, nuts, broccoli, lentils, sweet potatoes, chicken breast, steak, and fish.
My questions are:
How is my macro ratio? Should I keep it the same, just eat more of everything (1800-2000 cal?)?
Any staples I should add/remove?

Fit Crunch isn't that bad is it? Anyhow, what would you recommend instead as a breakfast to eat on my way to work?
