Importance of calories.. some help plz?

[Slaiv]

i dont understand that part, if my daily macros are lets say

300g pro (1200calories)
80g carb (320calories)
50g fat (450calories)

that equals 1970calories, but then i need lets say for example 2400 calories... how do i increase my calories WITHOUT increasing my other macros? im already eating ALOT of protein as it is (tuna, tilapia and chicken) carbs are a good amount so i dont get fat, and fats are just as good too so i dont get fat, so what can i eat to increase calories without increasing my other macros? and what is the importance of calories? if i already have the pro, carb and fat down, why worry bout calories?

and another thing!! why is it the a nutrition label states

calories 120

total fat
carb
protein
etc..
etc..

so lets say i eat a food that is just right for my 3rd meal, protein and fat

meal 3
44g protein (176 calories)
16g of fat (144 calories)

thats 320calories right there....
BUT.... the calories state its 120

so what do i do then? 320 PLUS the 120?!? so is that meal 440calories?

here is another question as well... lets say i need 550 calories for meal 3, but im only eating 440, what do i do to make up the extra 110calories i need WITHOUT increasing my fat intake or my protein intake?

this is pretty complicated stuff, please guys take your time reading this, i know its a bit too much, but i need some help in this area...

thank you all very much for any response, feedback or comments you may give me

IMPOSSIBLE. Calories come from macros and NO WHERE else.
im already eating ALOT of protein as it is (tuna, tilapia and chicken) carbs are a good amount so i dont get fat, and fats are just as good too so i dont get fat, so what can i eat to increase calories without increasing my other macros?
You wont get fat. You are going to LOSE weight because your calories are below maintenance.
and what is the importance of calories? if i already have the pro, carb and fat down, why worry bout calories?
Because calories are what make you grow. I dont even understand what you mean by "having the pro, carb and fat down" as you clearly dont have it down since they dont add up to an excess of calories.

and another thing!! why is it the a nutrition label states

calories 120

total fat
carb
protein
etc..

No idea what your label lists. It could be a smaller portion that what you are eating.

so what do i do then? 320 PLUS the 120?!? so is that meal 440calories?

If you dont want to up your protein or fat...well theres only one option left. Up the carbs lol.

this is pretty complicated stuff, please guys take your time reading this, i know its a bit too much, but i need some help in this area...
Not complicated at all, very simple. If you need 2400 cals to grow than eat 2400 cals.

HEY !!! if im gonna bulk, would P.B. and a Banana be a good mix to eat?!?!?

80g carbs is rediculously low for a bulking diet dude...

No, peanut buter and banana is not good (in my opinion) because the banana contains sugar and peanut butter has a lot of fat (although fructose doesn't cause as high of an insulin spike as glucose). I like tuna and peanut butter for a meal.

2400 calories... are you sure thats enough to grow?

thelabel says 120 calories because it hjas 120 calories per portion.. check the label again and see how many portions the meal has
