They seal really well. They can take boiling liquids and can be in the freezer just fine.

Got it, and yeah I think that total intake is reasonable then! A larger surplus will increase the ratio of fat to muscle that you gain, so I think that keeping your surplus small like what you mentioned will be good to avoid gaining too much fat. And in my opinion, I really can't say whether your meals are healthy or not with the amount of detail that you've given, but overall it seems pretty decent. I think that eating a variety of vegetables and fruits is important, but it sounds like maybe you're already including those in your plan and just not listening them here (?). If not I would aim for at least 3 cups of vegetables and 2 cups of fruit daily. And also, eating brown rice and whole wheat pasta would be healthier than white rice and regular pasta, for example. And also I'm not sure what exact kind of canned tuna you're buying, or exactly how often you're eating canned tuna vs. other options, but canned tuna can contain high levels of mercury, so you may want to limit how much you're consuming. Other than that, you can maybe try plugging in an example day of eating into https://cronometer.com/ and see if you're getting enough of all of the vitamins, minerals, etc!

This. This, 100% this. TDEE can only be calculated through trial and error. If you're not seeing results try something like the TDEE spreadsheet or this website calorietracker.io that calculates and recalculates it for you, and also synchs with MFP.

Although this may not help, I thought I would chime in. I have lost 15 lbs while progressively increasing my strength for about 2 months now. One problem I had was increasing my protein intake as I have read that people losing weight while trying to maintain/increasing muscle ought to eat .8 to 1 grams of protein a day for every pound of weight goal. I experimented w/ protein powder and I came to realize that I disliked powder w flavor. I eventually found this: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SCO8AA8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 I mix it w practically anything. I also do IF and have read that spreading out protein intake throughout the day is most optimal, but I find IF and eating two big meals best for me and my schedule. Furthermore, what is important, at least for me, is to meet 180g of protein a day. I build my meals around that, not really paying much attention to carbs or fats as long as it hits my caloric threshold. Obviously you know more about your health conditions than I do, so take this w a grain of salt.
