    What matters is calories and macros so that's what you need to work out. The other details are peripheral to that - and it looks like you are trying to do the "6 meal a day" thing which is not necessary unless you particularly prefer it that way. 3 or 4 feedings per day is plenty. I personally do 2 meals and 2 protein shakes per day at widely spaced intervals.

    There is a lot of information in the sticky threads about calories and macros.

    Well, it lacks variety... you're eating just chicken and broccoli most of the time... so you're likely not getting nearly enough of certain micros.

    Don't eat the same thing every day, and don't think that you need 6 meals a day... you don't.

    Hit your calorie and protein/fat targets, and call it a day.
