This looks more like OWL than maintainence. You could add some higher carb veggies in there like carrots, winter squash, brussels sprouts, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, etc...along with some whole grains (whole rolled oats with some protein for breakfast, for example, or a little wild rice with dinner), a serving or two of lower GI fruits (think berries, melons, peaches, tangerines, etc...). 250 grams of protein seems a little high for someone of your weight, but that's just MO; controlled carb is supposed to be adequate protein, not necessarily high protein; maybe drop the protein a bit so you can compensate for the extra carbs and calories from the extra veggies, grains and fruits.
