Newbie need help with dieting planning

[MMAATHLETE]

Ok, well first off I am 22 years old 6 foot 165 pounds. I am training for 2 reasons 1) to look good and feel good about myself 2) to enhance my athletisism for martial arts judo/kickboxing. Now I have been lifting weights since I was 18 not the whole time but off and on. This time I want to pay closer attention to my dieting than ever before. I am a very busy college student and am having a hard time eating correctly for lifting.

what I am looking for: Ideas/knowledge to what I should buy when going to the grocery store???, some easy ways to pre prepare these meals to have ready to eat fast for the week example; how much chicken to prepare for a whole week, some different ways to make it etc.

I am not looking to put on alot of weight in a hurry! I just want some good way to plan out my meals ahead of time, and get the most out of my workouts, because winging it trying to eat right whenever just doesn't work and even lifting good my results are not what I think they could be.

like I said I am sorta a newbie at this and would just like some general information and tips to get me started with this
GREATLY APPRECIATED
