Without typing it all out.....Workout days are 3oz protein and 2 cups veg at every meal/snack, and carbs at afternoon snack and dinner. Casein, fat and carbs before bed. Rest days are 4oz protein, some carbs/no fat early in the day, no carbs/some fat late in the day.
I will admit I've never seen a plan like the one you are describing before, so bear with me, but is meal timing an important part of this plan? If I had those parameters, I don't think I'd find much I would want to eat for breakfast either, as I'm also not a savory breakfast person. Can you postpone the first meal of the day until closer to the traditional lunch hour?

Right now the timing is specific so no I can't swap one meal for another.
This is really arbitrary. What exactly is different about the fat in an egg yolk that is different from the fat in ham?

why? Macro timing is irrelevant for about 90% of the population with the exception of professional body builders, and professional athletes, and even then you are taking about gaining a 1% edge..maybe...0 -

I'm not sure but will ask. All I know is each cut has been a drop fat and maintain muscle plan.

I am sorry but that does not make any sense. Fat = fat ....and having a higher fat macro, does not make one fat...0 -

I would definitely ask that and ask why there is an arbitrary limitation on when fat counts vs it doesn't. Because at the end of the day, total diet composition is what matters, not individual meals.0 -
Since you asked for spice flavoring ideas I'll suggest Cholula hot sauce - makes everything taste better
and I imagine it would make egg whites and veggies more edible.
