I'm not eating enough

I realized that I need to track my food again, because I'm not recovering, and it doesn't feel like I'm eating enough. Sure, when I eat, I get full, but I don't do it enough. I tracked what I ate today and it was less than 2000 calories. That has to stop. I came up with a plan on what I need to eat if I am to eat at least 3000, if not more.

I'm not going to be able to follow this perfectly of course, but I will do my best to follow it. I need the food to recover. No wonder I'm losing weight.

Figured out what I need to eat. If I do this, I will eat enough. Rough estimates of course.

Breakfast:

3-4 eggs, ~1/3 meat of some kind, some bread or starch (2 slice equivalent), some fruit

Cals: ~800

Lunch:

2/3 to 1 lb meat of some kind, some rice or potatoes or starch of some kind (400-500 cals worth, like 2 cups of rice), vegetables

Cals:~1000

Dinner:

same as dinner but don't eat the same thing, thats boring. But use those stats

Cals: ~1000

Late Dinner:

same as dinner and lunch but cut back a bit on all the values, so like 1/2 to 2/3 meat, maybe 1 cup rice equivalent starch, vegetables are still cool, fruit too

Cals: ~800

Total, if I do it right: ~3600 cals
