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 :smiley:

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