I'm new at this, how does this diet plan look?

Hi all, this is my first post. I am 20 years old, 5'6", 130 lbs... an ectomorph. After finding BB.com and reading up for about a week, I have decided to make up my own plan for dieting and workouts.

My goal is bulking for muscle mass, as I'm pretty small. I should say that so far I plan on working out at nights, 3 days a week, every other day. According to Michael Elias' BMR calc I should have a 40/40/20 ratio with ~2300 cals, resulting in 240g protein, 240g carbs, 53g fat.

Here's the diet I've created so far.

Meal 1:
egg whites
fruits- banana
ON whey protein/grinded thin rolled oats/milk
natural peanut butter
flax oil

Meal 2:
meat- fat free turkey
fat free mayo/mustard
low-fat cheese
whole wheat bread
fish oil capsule
salad w/ olive oil/red wine vinegar dressing

Meal 3:
meat- tuna
mixed vegetables (frozen->thawed): broc, cauliflower, carrots, etc
more dressing
nuts

Meal 4- Preworkout (15-30 minutes before):
protein/milk
fruit- banana
grinded thin-rolled oats
(2:1 carbs to protein)

During workout: water

Meal 5- Postworkout (60 minutes after starting):
protein/water
+grinded thin-rolled oats (or w/ gatorade powder?)
fruit- banana, grapes, berries

Meal 6)
fruits
yogurt
brown rice
low-fat cottage cheese w/ tomatoes
natural peanut butter
fish oil capsule

I also ordered AST Micronized Creatine monohydrate. I've heard from some morning, then pre-workout... from some post-workout. I was thinking 5 grams a day (one scoop): mornings on off-days, post-workout on those days. I plan on working out 3 days a week every other day.

Thanks for any help or comments. I really appreciate it, it's important to get off on the right start.

back in the day I gained size by having 2:1 carbs to protein at each meal. I lifted hard, put n some decent size 25 lbs in 6 mo. might work for you.Especially since you are ecto

I would also add more meat/eggs to your plan

Now that I'm using Calorieking, my fat adds up way too fast... I generally get 70-80 when I should have about 53 max..

I also don't get enough carbs..

How do I balance this out? I need to meet my calories of 2400-2600 to start gaining.
