Snack - turkey jerky, cooked turkey taco meat, protein bar (last resort)
Lunch - 16oz protein/veggies/20g any carbs
snack - high fiber fruit/nuts, so I can shit
Post work out shake - Pure Whey for instant absorption right after workout, drinking while doing cardio post lifting
Dinner - 16oz protein/veggies/no or low carb
Bed time - slow release protein shake (if shitty stomach or pissing all night, do every other night).
Weekends, lay off supplements and shakes to have your body recover from all that synthetic powder shit. No pre workouts or shakes. I may have a bar or two if I can't get the snacks in.
Buy a cooler/lunch box to carry food with you all the time so you don't get tempted to buy the "damn I too busy so I need to grab some shitty food now" craving/excuse.
Do a costco run, separate all the snacks in a small ziplock bag.
Pre-cook your meals on Sunday night for all dinners, freeze them to individual servings.
Or at least know what you are cooking for the week so you don't need to think about it, and go "fuck it, I'm getting Chipotle".
Cheat meal on weekend to keep your sanity.
As for workout, do what ever you want, its only 20% important. 80% diet. If you are going in to figure/body building, that may be different. If you just want to "look" good without the Gorilla look, clean up the diet and your body will be more fit than 95% of the population.

All those shakes lol (WARNING: LONG ASS READ)
Meal 1- 2 cups brown rice 6 ounce chicken breast or 4 eggs 2 pieces of toast
Meal 2- 2 cups borwn rice 6 ounce chicken breast
Meal 3 - 3/4 cup oatmeal + 1 tbsp peanut butter and splenda
Meal 4 - Post workout shake, 2 scoops concentrate/isolate
Meal 5 - 2 cups brown rice 6 ounce chicken breast
Lol i can go boring, easier time prepping. Sometimes i replace the chicken meals with some steak. I'm on a cut right now so the rice and chicken meals are only a little above 500 calories. I can't eat any other type of meat after my whey shake or i get gassy. Have to stick with chicken.
My take on whey protein.
There are typically three main proteins everyone uses minus the soy, meat, and whatever other hipster protein they come out with. Typically all whey proteins use the same type of protein. Whey is just derived from milk. It used to be a byproduct that was casually dumped away until someone discovered it's nutritional benefits. What companies do is they add in their own additives which allows them to mark up or mark down whey prices.
The three main whey proteins are whey concentrate, isolate and casein. Concentrate is typically the most diluted whey. Your body absorbs about 40% of concentrate and they usually give the most gas to people. The gas part is just a myth. A very very true myth..
Isolate is the most purest whey in a sense. Your body absorbs it the most because it has the fewest filler additives. It's also 2x as expensive as your typical whey concentrate.
Casein is a very very slow digesting whey protein. People typically take it before they go bed. It's also super thick and hard to mix. I stopped using casein because I'm not a pro bodybuilder so i don't track my meals every 120 minutes and 0 seconds.
I think the best bang for your buck is a whey concentrate and whey isolate mix. It's the most affordable and its in between both concentrate and isolate. Tubs of whey usually don't tell you what it is unless it's a isolate (cost more might as well advertise it.) Read the ingredients and look for isolate and concentrate.
Whey protein is a awesome food supplement but you should definitely not rely on it to replace over 2/5 of your meals. If i have 5 meals a day I'll have 1 shake, 2 at most if i can't prep a meal. Pro body builders will have about 3 shakes a day in their 7-8 meals. I know dennis wolf (2013 mr.olympia third place) Has about three shakes of 90 grams of protein each a day. His farts must be rancid.
On a side note: I hot 315 today on my squat. It was raw and i went below 90 degrees. I screamed a little...
