Got the Foods, Now where to place them

Okay So I got some foods for this clean bulk, now I just need to know where to place them. I do not have anything to weigh the foods so i'm just going to have to go an estimate that kind of stuff. I weigh 200 lbs, and i'm going for 3600 Calories. The foods I bought are as follows.

Oatmeal
Eggs
Salad
Olive Oil
Chicken Breast
Natural Peanut Butter
Tuna
Mixed Veggies
Banana's
Turkey
Steak
Cottage Cheese

I might be missing some, but that's about it.
The only thing I have down is two packages of Oatmeal and three hardboiled eggs for breakfast. I tried Chicken and Veggies for Lunch but can anyone just give me a layout or does it not really matter?

Edit: I know 6-8 meals, just don't know what to eat when

If you want to eat a steak and veggies for breakfast and eggs and oats for lunch or dinner I don't think it matters. I like to space my meals out 3 hours. If I do every two hours I get tired of eating and totally not hungry.

Your list looks pretty similar to mine! I just went to Wal-Mart today to do my grocery shopping!

Right - create a list:

carbs - oatmeal, banana, vegetables, salad
protein - eggs, chicken, tuna, steak, turkey, cottage cheese
fats - olive oil, peanut butter (and the eggs and steak too)

Then for each of the 5-6 meals split it up:
1. pick a protein
2. pick a carb
3. pick a fat

General guidelines:
- Spread protein evenly in your meals
- High energy carbs pre and post workout especially
- Try to get vegetables or in most of your meals (exceptions pre and PWO esp)
- Fats spread evenly except in PWO shake (and possibly pre-workout)

Other than that - it doesn't really matter a great deal.

How about rhe yams, sweet potatoes, brown/wild rice, lentils? You need some carbs there besides oatmeal and bananas. Keep the cottage cheese for your last meal with some healthy fats and maybe some fruit.

Other then that base some carbs around your workouts (pre/post) and some first thing in the morning then fill the other slots in then your golden!

I got the sweet potatoes, I forgot them, and i'm going to get some brown rice, but for now i've been using pasta for carbs, thanks for all your help.
