When I was much younger, this is how I was, though at much lower weights. I wrestled at 145 in 10th grade (I was over 6' by this point), I had no choice in the matter as that's quite simply how much I weighed and I could not shift it 1 lb, regardless of effort. Ate and shit like a shire horse, tall, lean, had an absurdly high metabolism then.
I cut out ALL alcohol, ALL sugary drinks (including fruit juices - these can actually be pretty bad), ALL snack foods, potatoes, most pasta, most cheese. No carry-out/take-out and don't dine out but once in a blue moon. I eat a lot of chicken and broccoli, a lot. Some beef, tuna (salad), a bit of rice, occasional pasta. A snack might be a handful of lightly salted nuts, sunflower seeds or a spoonful of Justin's PB spread. Skim milk, water and Liquid Death tea for lubricants.
I also don't eat three times a day, and rarely at the same time of day. I eat when I'm definitely hungry and I only make and eat enough to stop the hunger urge. Some days I eat once, occasionally not at all (not typical), sometimes I eat four or five times but in very small portions. Consumption is tied directly to activity level.
At this point I've stagnated a bit, I think I've maxed out what I can get from diet alone. Typically weigh in once a week, usually the same weekday, and I've been bouncing between 192 and 196 for months. I figure if I keep at it like I am and start adding in the activity again (shortly, hopefully), I should be able to cut the remaining useless shit from my body and start reclaiming some of my muscle. Amazing how easy it is to lose that stuff, as opposed to the fat.
