Looks fine enough but I don't know if you can eat like this every day though so in my opinion you should track calories throughout the day there are a few calorie counting websites like MyFitnesspal and Acaloriecounter. That way you can eat different things and how close you are to the calorie goal.

Thanks, will look at them.
Sometimes I change the breakfast/lunch but not very much - rice for potatoes, tuna for egg omelette etc. But I really like this diet, sometimes I feel really full at the end of the day.

Well doing several meals a day is an easy way to eat more and not feel full all the time. My only concern is that you would be eating a lot of tuna/sardines and that could be problematic because of mercury poisoning. You could precook some chicken for chicken sandwiches for breakfast or add eggs to the breakfast mix.
Use this calculator to find out how much mercury per kilogram you have and adjustaccordingly. If you are just above the recommended healthy amount then all is fine but if you eat equal parts tuna and sardines you probably should cut back on the fish.

Sardines are a great food and it's really going to help keep healthy cholesterol levels. One thing I'd like to point out is that the diet seems low on fats. You don't seem like you want a lot of animal fat in the diet, so I would recommend adding nuts and seeds (walnuts are high in omega 6) and avacodo. Guacamole rules.

What about cashews, peanuts or almonds? These are easy to find in my local shop.

Use myfitnesspal.com and log all your food. I've never heard of this program, but presumably it's lifting. You'll want to get roughly 1g of protein per pound of lean body mass per day. Distribute carbs and fats as you like, but get a decent amount of both.
Do you know your TDEE? Are you gaining on 3,000 calories? To find that out, weigh yourself every day for a week on a consistent diet and take a moving average. That should give you a sense of how fast you're gaining. At your height/weight, 3k calories is likely in a modest surplus.

Thanks for reply! I do body beast 6 days a week and every two days one of the insanity workout. So 6+ hours exercise a week.
The picture that I have on profile is from last week.
My macro goals are now even fat/protein/carbs. Maybe more proteins...
