>Breakfast: 12oz Black Coffee
>Lunch: I have a 1.5l glass jug which I fill with water and add lemon/lime and sometimes cucumber.
>Shake: On lifting days only I drink an extra 1.5l of water and then a single scoop of unflavored whey+water right after the workout.
>Dinner: I try to keep my main meal at about 60% vegetables and 40% meat/eggs/dairy by volume. I don't track macros or anything I just eat until I start to feel full.
>Desert/Snack: I have 4 hour "eating window" so if I get hungry after dinner I will have some fresh fruit like an apple or berries, a handful of nuts or maybe some carrots and almond butter.
Occasionally I'll have a "cheat day" by which I mean I'll have some bread, rice or noodles with my dinner but otherwise its the same. Also on special occasion like holidays I will still try to stick to one big meal a day but without restrictions on what I eat for that meal.
Its not really a keto diet since I eat a decent amount of carbs from fruit and vegetables but its definitely a lower carb and very low sugar diet compared to what most people eat. So far its worked great for me I've tried lots of diets in the past but couldn't commit long term and soon fell in to bad habits. I've been doing this diet for 6months and I've lost ~55lb which isn't bad at all but also in that time I've doubled or more all of my main lifts so I've clearly put on several pounds of muscle as well.

I have no experience with hardgaining my problem being somewhat the opposite but that diet seems like it would get old quick. If you already have to force yourself to eat making it so boring can't help.
