Hey HP. Ok here goes
7am: Large bowl of cereal, 3 hard boiled eggs, 2 pieces of toast /w butter.
10am snack: Usually 2 chicken pot pies
12pm: Red meat lunch. Usually roast beef, pork or hamburger (never fast food).

5pm whey protein shake followed by 1 hour intense workout. Then another shake.
7pm: Dinner is always chicken or fish with pasta (I’m Italian).
9pm: Bowl of oatmeal mixed with peanut butter.

First, Excellent! Most folks disappear when we ask them to post their diet so that we can help. You posted it up. Good. Here are my edits to your diet.
7am: Large bowl of cereal, 3 hard boiled eggs, 2 pieces of toast /w butter. <--- Make this Quaker Old Fashioned Oats, one cup dry (two cups water), makes a big bowl. 8 eggs. No need for them to be hard boiled. Fry them in butter if you want. Make scrambled eggs and put cheese on them, hot sauce, whatever you want. Make them palatable and eat them. Two slices of toast are ok, but I prefer they be some kind of whole grain.
10am snack: Usually 2 chicken pot pies <--- No such thing as snacks for bodybuilders. Meals. Replace this with 8 oz of chicken. One cup brown rice. A veggie. Acceptable veggies are spinach, asparagus, broccoli, and similar.
12pm: Red meat lunch. Usually roast beef, pork or hamburger (never fast food). 8 ounces of meat. One cup rice. Veggies (starting to see a pattern here?) I would move this meal to one o'clock if you are having trouble getting in the meal at noon. Three hours between meals.
2pm snack: Tunafish right out of the bag. I’ll eat the whole 2.6oz bag and some walnuts or pistachios.
5pm whey protein shake followed by 1 hour intense workout. Then another shake. <--- Fuck shakes.
7pm: Dinner is always chicken or fish with pasta (I’m Italian). 8 ounces of chicken or fish. Weigh it.
9pm: Bowl of oatmeal mixed with peanut butter. <--- Bah! GET ANOTHER MEAL IN.
10-11pm I hit the bed. COTTAGE CHEESE AND PINEAPPLE IN BED with nuts. FINISH IT BEFORE YOU GO TO SLEEP.
OK, here is the deal. 8 ounces of meat. Not 2.6. Not 4. Not 6. It can be steak. It can be salmon. It can be tuna. It can be turkey. It can be chicken. Unless you have a very high income, it is mostly going to be chicken.
Four times. That's 2 pounds of meat a day.
Rice. It can be potatoes or sweet potatoes sometimes.
Veggies. Already explained above. I used to make at least one of my veggies a raw spinach salad with cheese and homemade olive oil dressing.
So four times a day = 2 pounds meat a day.
In addition, you are eating 8 eggs every morning. One egg is 7 grams of protein, so 56 grams of protein.
8 ounces of chicken is roughly 50 grams of protein.
We just got you to eat 250 grams of protein.
See how this works???
The oats and rice and potatoes and sweet potatoes will give you carbs to fuel your workouts. The veggies will keep things flowing. Some fats in yolks, olive oil, cheese, cottage cheese, etc.
You will not dick around weighing 135-140 if you eat like this. Don't cheat yourself. Prep the meals beforehand. Take them with you when you leave the house for the day. You will not eat like this if you expect to go out to lunch and buy it at a restaurant. Ain't happening.
Make the meals ahead of time. Pack them. Take them with you.
