A fine start. Track protein, fat, carbs, fiber, and water/fluid intake.
Robert,
I’m planning on creating a “meal plan” document pretty soon in which I write out 15-20 meals or so that I know will help me continue to gain weight and benefit my training. For each of the meals, what macros should I be tracking? Carbs, Protein, total Calories….anything else? Thanks!

Depends on the type of food you like. What are you thinking?
The simplest way to approach concocting meals is to select one of each of the following:
A lean protein
A starch or fruit
Vegetables
Fat source
Then go down the list and start putting things together. For instance, I eat vegetable omelettes with cheese for breakfast with oatmeal and banana cooked in milk. I mix ground beef with bell peppers, onions, mushrooms (shiitake), and kale + cheese, guac, rice, and beans. Big burrito bowl. Good stuff and checks the 4 boxes.
Love it. Thank you!
