    Help with bulking diet!

    Been reading the posts for quite some time trying to piece together a plan for myself, but now figured I'll just ask for help.

    25 year old (well, I will be on saturday), 5' 6", about 130 lb.
    Been trying to bulk up and gain lean muscle mass for a long time. But really only followed a strict bulking diet for about 1 month and am now up to 130 - 132. But I don't feel I am getting big fast enough.
    I eat 5 meals a day right now. I used to work out 6 days a week with a 2 day split, now only 4 days a week, each body part once, forearms and calves twice a week.
    If anyone can help, it would REALLY be appreciated. I'm taking this bodybuilding really seriously. Also I was always afraid to put on too much weight because when was a little kid was pudgy and worked to get it off, and have been a very careful about it. But I am overcoming that fear because I really wanna get big. I'm not scrawny, just small, but have a good build.

    Here is my diet that I have been following for the last 3 weeks.
    1. Any criticism of it is appreciated and is requested.
    2. Am I eating enough (I don't really follow any nutrient ratio(40/40/20, 50/30/20/,...)?
