It looks pretty good. I would try this for a week and see how your body reacts to that many calories. i.e. fat gain. If your gaining more than 1.5 to 2 pounds per week then I would cut back on the cals. I personaly think, you being 100 pounds, that you should start off at around 2300 cals and work up from there. Good Luck!

How do you know this? Are you measuring your body fat % eadh week?

It is very, very difficult to gain more than 1 lb of lean body mass(muscle) per week. Try to aim for 1lb a week.

For myself, I am doing a continous bulk and am only gaining .5lb a week sometimes( or less). I try not to depend on the scale so much to judge results. I think a better indicator of good gains is making sure to gain weight each week, looking better in the mirror, and using more weight in the gym.

jesus..you like crazy for someone who is 100lbs. and i'd also cut down on the protein a little. sure some people say 2g/lb (and ur're over that)...but at you're weight and age...i'd would assume u recently started training..and should ease urself into the whole protein thing.

i dont know that i didnt put on any fat for sure but it doesnt look like i have. and i have tryed bf testers but they all say error . i have tryed about 4 different ones. so are you saying i should stick with ym old diet of only 3000 calories and keep gaining only 1 1\2 pounds a day instead of trying to gain more a week? also do u think it would be alrigth to just try out this new diet with the extra 600 calories for a week and see how it works out?

It's not gonna hurt to try it out for a week, but at your size and considering you are already gaining plenty of weight per week, I would recommend just sticking to your other diet. Just be patient man, the size will come but it takes time.
