Nutrition help

I'll just take a minute to introduce myself. My name's Ryan and I've been weight training for the past couple of years or so. Nothing extensive, but enough to keep me in shape. Over the past year, I've let my exercise regiment slide to the point where I'm pretty much disgusted with myself. Now I'm looking to get back into the gym and this time with the proper information. I'm trying to educate myself on the basics of diet and proper training. That is where I'm looking for some help. I've read several articles about meal plans and diet, but nothing that's been incredibly helpful. Can anyone recommend a good book or maybe even lay out a simple meal plan? I currently weigh in at around a soft 155-160lbs. Ideally, I'd like to weigh between 175-180. I'm not looking for fast results or shortcuts. I am prepared to commit and get myself on a routine. But, I don't have a lot of time for the recommended 5-6 meals per day (not to mention the money). The meals in between breakfast, lunch and dinner are where I'd really need help. Anyway, any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Welcome to discussbodybuilding.com, im glad your getting back into shape, thats good to hear. Your on track with the 5-6 meals per day, thats usally what i eat. Have alot of chicken(grilled of course), tuna, peanuts, protein shakes. Ill make a sample days meal if youd like so here it goes:
Breakfast:
4 egg whites, 2 pieces wheat toast, and a protein shake.( if you dont have any protein powder i suggest cytogainer, made my cytosport. Great taste, lots of protein & calories, perfect fit for a bulking weight lifter.)
midmorning: Banana, protein bar(metrx pack the most protein)
Lunch: Tuna with lite mayo and carrots chopped in, and a large salad.(need a complex carb with a protein)
Post workout- Protein shake
Dinner:
Grilled chicken with a rice and salad.
3am:NO LIE, if you down a shake at 2/3/4 am you will be guaranteed to gain weight. When you sleep you do not eat for 8-10 hours. Thats not good, make a shake before you go to bed set up your alarm and you good to go. Because it slows down that metabolism of yours.
