Clean bulk critique

[billmd1334]

I'm 6'2'' 195lbs, looking to clean bulk up to around 210 or so... I've been cutting for the last few months, and looking to put on some size. Here's an outline of my diet, any advice or info you can give me would be awesome!

Meal 1 - 3/4c oatmeal sweetened with spelenda and cinnamon, 2 scoops whey mixed with water

Meal 2 - 1/4c grits sweetened with spray butter and spelenda, 4 eggs scrambled

Meal 3 pre workout - 1 banana, 1 scoop whey in water

Meal 4 post workout - 1 scoop whey, 1 scoop gatorade powder

Meal 5 - Some type of meat, carb, veggie

Meal 6- 1 can tuna mixed with salsa and low fat mayo

Meal 7 - 1/2c cottage cheese, 1 tbsp peanut butter

Doesn't look like enough food. How many calories are you aiming for.

Aiming for around 3000 calories a day... not sure where I should add in food. Any advice would be great.

Meal 1 - 3/4c oatmeal sweetened with spelenda and cinnamon, 2 scoops whey mixed with water

~225 + 240 = 465

Meal 2 - 1/4c grits sweetened with spray butter and spelenda, 4 eggs scrambled

Not sure how much grits equals calories wise off the top of my head. 4 eggs = ~290

Meal 3 pre workout - 1 banana, 1 scoop whey in water

~100 + 120 = 220

Meal 4 post workout - 1 scoop whey, 1 scoop gatorade powder

120 + ?? =

Meal 5 - Some type of meat, carb, veggie

Assuming 240 for the meat here, + ~30 for veggies + 200 for carb = 470 - 500

Meal 6- 1 can tuna mixed with salsa and low fat mayo

How big of a can? Mine = 150 calories per can + salsa = ~10 (if you seriously count it lol) and mayo is ~25 so .. = ~200

Meal 7 - 1/2c cottage cheese, 1 tbsp peanut butter

Assuming lowfat/FF = 80 - 90 per 1/2 cup, tbsp pb ~100

= ~200

I did this all in my head so it's a rough estimate, some #'s may be off

Total = Around 2,000 ish not including the gatorade and grits. See what I'm getting at? I'd double portions in most cases to get more calories. Even I eat more than this on a cut and I'm much lighter.

Thanks a lot bro, I appreciate it. I did the math of everything and it came up to around 2500, so to hit 500 more calories I'll throw in some more healthy fats and we'll see what happens.

Thanks again.
