I've recently finished cutting down to compete in a lower weight class for strongman. I am 6' and have gone from 285lb last August to ~237lb just a few dasys ago. Since I cranked the calories back up, as of today I'm 241.5. I'm guessing its the water from the carbs. I would like to maintain a body weight of 240lbs or less.

Esentially what would the macros be for me to maintain weight but get stronger?

The cutting diet I ran upto recently was:

Meal 1 - 530am
250ml liquid egg whites
100g salmon
a boat load of spinch

Meal 2 9am
50g egg protein
1 med Grapefruit

Meal 3 11:30 pm
200g of some dead animal (usually baked chicken breast)
Raw veggies :(

Meal 4 1:30pm
50g egg protein
1 med grapefruit

Meal 5 3:30pm
Same as meal1 or meal 3

Nap and some NO type product

Train 6-7pm

Meal 6 PWO
50g egg protein
grapefruit juice or waxy maize when I have it

Meal 7
Anything from some baked chicken leg and thigh w/o skin to a total nurtitional gong-show

Notes:
The above is probably the most I've eaten monday-friday. Work gives me diet structure on the weekend I have much harder time sticking to a scheduled diet plan.

Preatty much just added carbs to all meals except the ones involving a protein shake and grape fruit. Plus I've been a bit more liberal with EVOO.

I'm 240.5lbs today so maybe I just roll with it for a few more days and see how my body reacts.

How many grams of carbs per meal would be ideal?

Keep everything the same and see what happens in a few days. If you gain a little just drop the carbs on one of your last meals.
