Gaining Weight
I have been bulking or trying to, by adding about 1500 calories per day to what I once ate last year, and have seen a very litte gain in weight using all clean, natural, or healthy foods.
My freind on the other hand has upped his calories the same eating eggs, bacon, bread, pizza, mcdonalds, crap, crap, and more crap and I have seen him gain 7 pounds in one week.
Is that the right way to go? just eat tons and tons of crap and gain weight fast, or is it better the way I am doing it by eating clean and going slowly?

I'd never suggest McD'. How bout Subway or Chipolte instead though.

What you are doing is much better. With your friend eating all that saturated fats and refined carbohydrates to cause him to gain 7 pounds in one week, all he will be achieving is something along the lines of gains like 50% water, 40% fat and 10% muscle... If he keeps it up for longer than that the ratio would change to 80% fat, 20% muscle (if he is lucky)...

More protein is not really needed and it is the other macronutrients that will come into play to help you.
Continue to eat well, train hard and rest adequately and you will grow. Just give it time...
