Getting Serious About My Diet

Nutrition
1

I want to get to 185 by the end of the school year.
I am 5’10 155 lbs and i dont eat enough (obviously).
I used to eat like crap but i dont want to do that anymore, i’d like to clean bulk
Right now, my diet during a school day looks like this (yes, your in for a laugh):

7-9 AM: Oatmeal Squares Cereal with soy milk. Banana and a glass of water.
10-12 AM: Peanut butter sandwich, Turkey Sandwich, piece of fruit, bottle of water
1-3 PM: Nothing (this is my problem)
3-5 PM: leftovers when i get home because im starving, but thats usually a small piece of chicken with rice or something. for dinner i’ll have Chicken Breast with a green vegetable and rice.
6-9 PM: Fruit and whey protein shake

what are some things i can add to my lunch that would give me more calories that are healthy and easy to pack in a school lunch?

Here is the ingredient list for oatmeal squares cereal:

Whole Oat Flour, Whole Wheat Flour, Brown Sugar, Sugar, Maltodextrin, Malted Barley Extract, Molasses, Sodium Bicarbonate, Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Reduced Iron, Sodium Ascorbate, Yellow 5, Niacinamide (One of the B Vitamins)Zinc Oxide, Vitamin E Acetate, Vitamin A Palmitate, Yellow 6, Thiamin Mononitrate (One of the B Vitamins)Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (One of the B Vitamins)Riboflavin (One of the B Vitamins)Folic Acid (One of the B Vitamins)BHT Added to Preserve Freshness.

The 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th most common ingredients are sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar and sugar.
Loose the soy – real milk would be better. Or loose both, and just have a good old fashioned bowl of oatmeal made with water. Or put the oatmeal, water, banana, and a scoop of Metabolic Drive in a blender, and have a shake instead. Eggs/egg whites would be a nice alternative too.

Loose the peanut better sandwhich (is it at lease real peanut butter – the ingredients should be: peanuts, salt (nothing else). Try some protein instead. A can or pack of tuna or salmon would be good – or some chicken, or cottage cheese, or no-fat greek yogurt, or a Met. Drive shake.

The fruit is fine since you probably need to add calories.

In a pinch, beef jerky (be careful – read the ingredients, try to keep the sugar and other crap low) and nuts are pretty portable and convenient.

An assortment of nuts is convenient and calorie dense. I’d try to add some kinda protein to breakfast and really each meal/snack. You’re barely eating enough to keep a dragonfly alive. Just to let you know it may be real hard to clean bulk yourself to 185 giving your schedule and appetite. Look up massive eating for some more ideas.
