Desk job by day, gym rat by night.
I just recently started doing carb cycling after hitting my goal weight of 185. A few years back I started at 170 and was seriously out of shape compared to my earlier years. I lost 15 pounds of fat sticking to a low carb diet. Then started going to the gym 4 days a week 2 hour sessions. that's when my weight went up shot to 185 with the last 5 pounds doing gainer shakes. Im an Ectomorph and have always struggled to gain muscle weight. Now I am doing the carb cycling to get rid of my last few pounds of belly fat I hit the gym 6 days a week for 1 hour.
Hyperbolic muscle training, supersets and some HIITs.

No more shirts on at the pool for me. !

Workout Today
Bigger muscle groups require more calories to run efficiently, Always give your body a chance to recover whatever muscle group you just worked out. Preferred 2 days minimum. If you have a trainer I'm sure he recommends a certain amount of protein to consume and your nutrition has to be legit. There's some great information on Bodybuilding .com site regarding proper nutrition and supplements pre and post workouts. These get pricey so do your homework otherwise your wasting your time at the gym and whatever muscles you gained, you will loose without feeding your muscles at the right time to get them to grow.

protein
lentils are a great source of protein as well. I buy them dried and cook then add lean chicken pieces for 50+ grams of protein. could also add yams for some clean carbs.
cottage cheese 20+g Greek yogurt 20+g nuts 10-15g 1/2 cup. and if you can afford them, Mussel's have 15 grams in a 1 cup serving, along with a rich supply of Selenium for Thyroid hormone regulation and protein function.

Always take a pure casein protein mix or a blend or proteins before bedtime to eliminate the catabolic effect on your muscle gains.

Just remember that the human body can only assimilate 9-10 grams or protein per hour. So mega dosing with protein powders is a waste of money.

I really need a diet buddy.
Cut your salt intake to reduce your high blood pressure, and migraines. I just recently found myself getting headaches after adding salt on foods. I also suffered from frequent migraine's these last ten years.
You could try carb cycling, and keep your daily calories 500 less than your RDA.

Post pics of food
try substitute a meal or two with a protein powder blend. This will sustain your hunger. With a blend it will keep you fuller longer. I recommend Muscle feast premium 5 pound jug, contains stevia sweeteners and mixes well. this is especially useful before bedtime when we tend to hit the easy to snack on carbs. Think of the protein powder as a meal replacement if cost is a worry. 75 servings at 5# for $1.33 a serving, cheaper than a cup of coffee.
Speaking of snacks, mix your own nuts for quick snacking, with raw almonds, dried cranberries dried bananas, raw pecans, and raw walnuts. I take these everywhere. Don't buy the premix nuts as they usually contain chocolate or salt. These nuts have a host of other benefits besides extra protein.
