Naturally? If all things in your training are in perfect harmony, I would estimate that 1 lb a week of pure lean body mass would be the most anyone could gain.

I have upped my cals to like 2500ish from 1500/1800 and Ive gained about 4ish in 3 weeks. I think its sorta ALOT, but......maybe its ok. Im 152 to start, 5'6"......I feel like im getting fat lol, but.....Im also feeing ALOT better in the gym!
If I were gaining 1lb per SOLID id be extactic! Who knows, its toooo good to be true probably!

well, i used to be 225, fat and it took me alonggg time to start taking care of myself. im 150s consistantly for some time now but i never really ate correctly (enough) for fear of getting fat again. Ive since left that behind and decided to eat more. Now my complex is back LOL, JK.
Ima keep eating clean and see what I can do....gonna give it 3 months - if I get fattttt then, ill reconsider!

"I am a believer in this method. I like to call it "clean/perpetual" bulking.
here are some things that have worked well for me while clean bulking...
-gain weight slowly. aim to gain about .5lb a week. this way you know the weight you are gaining is muscle and not fat. my logic is that since its hard to put on any more then about .5 lb of muscle a week anyway, there is no point in bulking and gaing 1-2lbs a week. at least this has worked well for me but you have to be patient when approaching bulking this way. think of it as a constant bulk.
-eat starchy carbs(oats, brown rice,etc) around your workout(pre-wo meal, PWO shake, PWO meal) and for breakfast only. all other meals have carbs from veggies, fruit, and beans.
-do cardio. HIIT cardio and walking for 45-60mins are what my body responds best to. do cardio on days you dont lift or 6-8 hours before/after lifting.
-fish oil and green tea seems to help me limit fat gains
-judge your gains by how you look in the mirror and more importantly, your pefromance in the gym. that is, progressivley putting more weight on the bar on a week to week basis.
-my diet consists mainly of...
protein: chicken/turkey breast, egg beaters and eggs, whey protein powder, lean red meats, cottage cheese
carbs: oats, oat bran, veggies, fruit, sprouted grain bread(like ezkeil bread), fruits, and veggies
fats: raw almonds and walnuts, fish oil caps, oilve oil, flax, natural peanut butter and almond butter"My Training Journal...
