Breakfast - 3 scrambled eggs (~18g protein), Oikos greek yogurt (~15g), a cup of chocolate milk (~13g), and a protein bar (~20g)
Lunch - honey garlic chicken and white rice (~50g). Honestly, I am confused as to how much ~0.665 lbs of chicken (which is one chicken breast usually for me) gives me in protein, but I estimated about 50 grams.
Dinner - Barilla Protein+ penne pasta and butter with parmesan cheese. The package says 10g of protein per serving and I typically consume 3.5 servings, so ~35g. I pair this with a cup of chocolate milk usually, so another ~13g added on.
After workout - Premier protein shake (~30g)
Total - 194g of protein
Recommendations would be appreciated. My selection is quite difficult as a college student and it has been difficult for me to gain weight as a skinny person due to my weak appetite. I understand this isn’t the healthiest diet to gain muscle and weight.

300 grams of chicken breast will give you almost 70 g of protein (if that chicken breast is raw - it wi be different for cooked). Tracking protein will be easier if you use a program/app, like myfitness pal.
Would also be helpful to know your current weight and/or goal weight, as your protein intake will vary somewhat because of that. And also calories, which could arguably be more important than protein. You could be eating 250 g of protein but if you’re not eating at a caloric surplus you won’t gain weight.
You also need veggies and fruit, you’re seriously lacking in vitamins and micronutrients here
