each meal should have protein, carb and good fats

meals should be 2.5 to 3hrs apart

sip on water throughout the day

squats 2-3 times a week if you can handle it

i dont eat roast chicken or mince. i find them quite oily

chicken breast, steak (usually the cheaper it is the less fat is has. i like to eat rump, very easy to trim off the fat) and tuna are good
200g chicken/beef uncooked should be fine for your weight

increase oats in morning
try 3/4 cup or 1 cup?
 
Calories:

1g of carbs = 4 calories
1g protein = 4 calories
1g fat = 9 calories

But the key is that different macronutrients have different purposes.
Carbs for energy, protein for muscle building/repair, skin repair etc. , fat for hormone production..

Excess carbs = fat
Excess fat = fat
Excess protein = possible liver damage, rise in uric acid levels, possible stress on kidneys, glycogenation.
