I'm currently on my first bulk. When I started I weighed 124 lbs and my body fat was 9%. Over a year later, I'm currently at 162 lbs and my body fat is 13%. I wanted to go up to 14%, but it seems too...

When it comes to shredded cheese, kraft has fat free cheddar and fat free mozzarella. Also, kraft and borden have fat free american singles.

The healthiest fats are going to be fatty fish, like you mentioned, olive oil and canola oil, nuts/seeds/nut butters, and avocados.

Are there other meats that you like, such as beef, pork, turkey, and/or fish? All of those are good protein sources. Yogurt and cottage cheese are some good dairy options for protein.

I make my own pancakes with oat flour (oats ground in a blender), protein powder, and egg whites.

I recently learned a lot about nutrition, but I'm a newbie when it comes to fitness. I'm currently in the bulking phase, and I just completed the whole P90X3 program 2 times in a row, but I don't...

That's accurate. Pancake mix and bananas have that amount of carbs. Make sure you weigh your food.

Your protein and fat minimums should be the same everyday. When you eat less on rest days, cut down on carbs.

Most of them are 0 calories (meaning between 0 - 5 calories) for 1/4 of a second spray, which is difficult to do. I think a 1 second spray = 9 calories, so I'm assuming that would also equal 1 gram...

I'm still a newbie, but I have taken the majority of the sugar out of my lean bulk diet, because I think too much sugar might affect body composition, even if it fits the macros. I don't think there...

There's many options to choose from. I like to include:
cereal
oatmeal
turkey sausage
turkey bacon
eggs
egg whites
peanut butter
chicken breast
extra lean turkey

You're probably consuming a few grams of carbs from the spinach, but why would you try to limit yourself to 0 carbs anyways?

I only cheat on rare occasions when the wife and I are at a restaurant, and she makes me order a dessert. Other than that, I try to keep the bulk as clean as possible.

Are you worried about gaining fat from eating carbs? If you are bulking correctly, the majority of the weight you gain will be muscle. You don't have to consume carbs if you don't want to, but then...

Eat a lot more. Don't skip any meals. Make sure you eat at least 1 gram of protein for each pound of body weight.

1 lb = 3500 kcalories, so if you eat 250 kcals over maintenance, you will gain 1/2 a lb a week; if you eat 500 kcals over maintenance, you will gain 1 lb a week. You should keep it within that range....

I don't think there is anything wrong with a moderate amount of sugar, but my preference is to avoid it as often as possible, since I don't see any benefits from sugar. I often eat sugar free or no...

Pork chops
Grilled sweet potatoes
Red, white, and blue fudge stars

How can you not have time to eat veggies? Just buy some canned greens or frozen vegetables from the store. It only takes a couple minutes to heat up in the microwave.

3000 kcalories might be too much for you, which is why you are gaining more fat than muscle. You only need to eat a few hundred kcalories over maintenance.
