Yes eat every 2.5-3 hours.

Protein

Soybeans, Tofu, (Soybean Curd), Low Fat Dairy, Complimentary Proteins e.g. Peas, Rice, Beans / Other legumes, Sliced Chicken and Turkey, Chicken Breast, Lean Ground Beef, Fish.

Carbs

Fruit, Vegetables, Grains, Rice, Pasta, Beans, Whole-Grain Wheatbread.

Fats

Polyunsaturated and Monousaturated, Omega Fats, low Salt Nuts, Seeds, Almonds, Certain oils, like Fish Oil, Cod liver Oil.

I would limit yourself to between 2,000-2,500 calories a day.

With Protein, if you eat Tuna, limit to 1 can every 2-3 days, to limit Mercury intake.

When you choose Carb sources, make sure you only have certain types at certain times.

So things like Pasta, limit to small portions, or 1-2 large bowls a week.

White Rice, 1-2 portions a week, mostly Brown Rice if you eat Rice more often.

Other High or moderate GI foods, (like Cereals for example), where total Carb content will yield a high , stick to Breakfast, and after workouts, when Bloodsugar is low or lowered. or limit to 1 or 2 times a week at other points in the day.

If you eat Eggs, stick to no more than 1 Yolk a day, and where more than one Egg is consumed add only 1 or more Whites to the Yolk.

Hopefully all that makes sense.

Also don't go nuts on healthy Fats, as they still have 9 calories per gram, same as Saturated ones.
