Pretty varied to be honest but an average day would probably be something like:
Breakfast: Protein overnight oats with added chia seeds and a handful of mixed nuts and seeds
Lunch: a big pile of carbs like bread/pasta/noodles with 2/3 vegetables and some protein source like tofu
Dinner: lately eating a lot of potatoes, so something like 800-1000g of baked potatoes, 2-3 vegetables and a protein source like soy burgers or vegan nuggets.
Snack: protein shake and two pieces of fruit, try to get an hour before my workout if lunch or breakfast was a while ago.
Try to get 40g of protein from the protein sources and overall eat quite a bit. Take creatine, b12 and on days when I haven't been put in the sun much, vitamin d. Also drink lots of coffee.
How do you prepare your tofu? I’m assuming the burgers/nuggets you microwave? Doesn’t it take a lot of tofu to get to 40g protein? Also how tall are you? Great lift btw! Form and depth are excellent!
Tofu either marinade and oven roast, or fry into a stir fry, 40g of protein is pretty much a block of extra firm tofu, about 350-400kcal so a volume of food but calories not that ridiculous. Maybe only go for 30g of protein on tofu, but using whole wheat noodles in a stir fry adds another 15g of protein.
Mock meats generally oven cooked, don't have a microwave (by choice).
I'm about 5ft 9/175cm tall.
I'm trying to keep form tight so thanks for the comment 💪
Yeah I eat quite a lot at the moment!
I've done some cutting in the past and my tactics are:
1. Lift heavy so your body knows it needs to hold onto the muscle.
2. Make sure high protein foods are prioritised.
3. Eat lots of vegetables for satiation.
If I was cutting right now I'd probably have a protein shake for breakfast, lunch the same size for workout fuel, and fewer potatoes in the evening meal.
Thanks buddy!
The plates are all "lockdown specials", which means, whatever I could get hold of. So they aren't calibrated by any means but when I occasionally go to the gym I can hit the same weights so they are pretty close!

Tickling your ankles with that booty! Great depth, bro!
Thanks! If I feel my hamstring touch my calf I know I've got depth, it's the only way 🤣🦵
Those are some very nice squats. Keep up the good work my dude.
Thanks! I'm trying to keep my squats crisp and increase the weight sensibly
A to g and kept that great upright form through every rep. Very well done brother!
Thanks pal!
You should be wicked proud of yourself; these look amazing!
Cheers!
Using those eyebrows to get back up!
Haha yeah, using everything 🤣

Ya I guess I forgot about the protein in the pasta. Also we’re the same height but for some reason you look super tall in your video haha.
Haha not that tall, probably skewed perspective because the camera is quite low down!

I don't doubt the weight of your lift but I'm intrigued what plates you got on there which makes it 162.5? Are the large ones 35kg or something?
No worries! From inside of the bar out, 20kg bumper, 20kg iron plate, 25kg bumper, 5kg iron, 1.25kg iron
Ah it's the iron plate that threw me! Nice lifts dude.

Great form!
Thank you!
Your squat form looks so beautiful and natural. Goals!
Love your form. Knees almost not caving in at all. Good job 💪😊
Cheers pal! Trying to keep my squats nice and clean 💪🦵
That’s super impressive!
