New to lifting at age 26 here! I'm 5'6, 150lb and looking to reach roughly 160-165 in muscle.
I have an issue balancing out my nutrition when attempting to meal prep. Online recommendations show I should have
2,500 calories / 315 carbs / 84 fat / 126 protein / 2300 sodium / 95 sugar.
I currently am eating:
Breakfast:
Syntha-6 Oat+Peanut butter smoothie for breakfast
Home made Sausage, egg, and cheese burrito
Lunch:
15 Chicken Nuggets (Will switch to grilled chicken or better when getting comfortable with everything)
Dinner:
Mash up between Chicken Parm with pasta / Biscuits, burgers, hotdogs, etc.
With all this, I'm still coming up roughly 500 calories, 160 carbs, and 80g of sugar short.
Does anyone have any advice or tricks with what I can switch or add to balance this out? I've been reading food labels till my eyes bleed

I’m not seeing any fruit or veg on that list. That’s where to get your carbs and sugar.1
