And being busy is not an excuse. Take a day and prep your meals on that day, then take your meals with you.

Any advice on what that meal plan should look like ..

The first thing you're going to need to do is figure out what it takes to maintain your body weight where it is right now. This will probably take you a couple of weeks.
You're going to need a kitchen scale , start weighing and recording everything you take in and start working out how many calories you need to maintain.
After you find your maintenance Start adding calories weekly, I'd suggest going up to 20% over maintenance.
I am by far NOT an expert but used to sit at 235ish without the help of any gear.
I saw your cruising thread and I would say you need to learn how to eat right before you are going to achieve what you would like to.
Good luck check out the what did you eat today thread and check out some of the boys logs.

This is your answer. They aren't perfect but there are good apps that help plan your meals and calculate your cals/macros.
You can't become huge in a short period unless you want to become a bloated mess.

If this helps any as was stated above you aren’t nearly eating enough , I was a fat guy for a very long time obese and to lose I was still eating 6 solid meals a day and 2 snacks . Healthy well rounded meals and you will screw up the first month or two until you see what is working and how your body responds. @PacMan gave me a few small pointers and samples and it’s helped immensely. I think a long talk with @PacMan might help get you dialed maybe even hire him. Just ask well thought out questions and educated ones and I’m sure he can help. You know what they say Eat to grow and eat to Lose same rules apply just different caloric loads for both.

Small changes at first will simply become routine, and part of everyday life. If you jump into the deep end day 1, you will sink.

Slow and steady, the turtle will always win...
