i really really doubt you are takin in enuff food...u dont weigh enuff for your height...i suggest bumping to 4500 a day and see where it takes u...everyones metabolism/lifestyle(as in daily calories burned) makes an impact on how much u need to gain lean mass...if you are hungry then it means your body is in starvation mode and you are already burning muscle... u do know that ur body will eat its own muscle when its in a catabolic state..to maintain anabolism u must eat every 2-4 hours and eat clean..

Where are the veggies? Load up on veggies as much as you want. They are full of nutrition, low in carbs/cals and will fill you up.

I agree that you could add some veggies to fill you up, but if the hunger pains are excessive, you could take green tea extract.

and bulknig to boot!! i would grab some pie with ice cream to top off the burgers.

I have never had hunger pangs during a bulk. I have busted a belt or 2, however.

see if you still feel hungry after 7000 cal a day..

Tuna and rice will go right through you, meaning that you won't feel satiated, at least that has been my experience. Adding fiber and healthy fats to a meal like that will increase the feeling of fullness and probably hold you over to your next meal.

And overall, as the others have mentioned, you might need to take in more calories.

Got a cheat meal/day? That might help too?
