HAHA man don't waste anytime thats good. This is what i usually stay along. I'm an easy gainer though. Add in some veggies and fruit. More Milk through the day. Flip 5 and 6 but keep the shake close to bed. Add oats to you're shakes too. Fats from nuts are ok. Maybe grab some Omega-3 to supp. and try to limit fat real real low in you're diet.
1st
Whole Wheat bagel
PB to cover one side
Yogurt
1cup crushed oats in my Muscle Milk(1 1/2 scoops)
half glass of water and glass of milk
2
Whole wheat PB & J
12oz water
Chicken/steak/porkchop/whateever meat avail.
3 this is often my PreWO- 45 min. prior
Fruit/Veggies
Shake with milk
4 - PostWO
Shake w/ crushed oats in water
30 min. later
Meat
Water, sometimes juice too.
Veggies
5
Yogurt
fruit
crackers and tuna
6 -PreBedtime
Shake(2 scoops) milk
try to have a lean meat like chicken/porkchops
Yogurt
Whole Wheat PB only sandwhich
Sometimes i slip in some juice.
I cut the fat off my steak and whatever else. Call me what you will. I pretty much live off carbs and protein and not to much fat. Only from a sause or dip for flavor. I mix things up though. Sometimes potatoes are in there. I don't realy count anything. I periodically open my fridge, open the milk and drink it straight from the gallon casue it's mine no one else drink it. I drink water all day but make a for sure effort at meals. I might grab some little things between meals too nothin bad though. If you've read this far...you ogt dedication and you'll do fine. Much Luck Bro. Keep us updated on progress.

Everyone responds a little differently to foods. MT's outline is definitely a solid example. Here's some of my ideas.
I actually respond better to diets higher in fat, and a little lower in the carbohydrates. I'm prone to storing carbs as fat it seems. After just coming off a fat loss diet, my calories are about 25% fat, 25% carb, and 50% protein. I also limit my dairy intake a little, because it's a possible allergen and I find myself bloating a lot when my dairy is excessive.
As you said you're going to just begin hardcore training, I think it's important to keep it simple. Don't worry too much about exact amounts, eat until you're pretty well full and start to feel you shouldn't continue eating. Go ahead and eat tons of protein, a lot of carbs, and also some fat with each meal, at least 6 of them a day. Also vegetables with every meal, I feel is very important.
Here's food choices that I usually stick to:
Protein: any relatively lean meat (beef, chicken, fish, turkey is all good), eggs, cottage cheese at night, whey protein or protein blend supplements, some milk, and yogurt is a good complement to anything
Fat: almonds, peanut butter, EFA supplements
Carbs: vegetables! (I use lots of green beans, asparagus, spinach, and collard greens), rice (any), potatoes or yams, cornbread, grits, oatmeal, and some fruit if you like (I only have grapefruit)
