lets try to simplify this:

if it has been at least one solid month of eating 2500cals on average daily then u will be ok to start eating 2800cals. otherwise i would run 2500cals (maintenance) for at least a solid month before bulking.

ur food choices above look ok to me but i would double check the basmati rice. 1/4 cup dry and 97g carbs seems a bit high to me. my brown rice only has 128g carbs in an entire cup measured dry. ur basmati in the same quantity would be approaching 400g! seems high.. id find some different rice if it were me and these numbers are correct.

i would also consider reducing carbs down to 100-150g on non training days. this will lean up ur bulk for u and possibly allow u to increase calories further on ur training days.. itll take some time and playing around to see where u need to be..

OK so first off, are my number for the current meal plan alright? The macros?

secondly that 1/4 cup of rice i believe always stays there, btw its 125grams of UNcooked rice and even if i put 100 or 50 or 500gram the 1/4 mark still stays there idk. But ive checked the package at home and yup the myfitnesspal is correct so just ignore the 1/4 thing.

Ok after eating at maintenance is this diet G2G 405?
