I plan on bulking up to 130 pounds and see what i look like there. I will prolly have to cut a little there since i will have a pretty good body fat percentage gain by then, hehe. For my calories with my high metabolism i took my goal weight of 130 pounds and multiplied that by 20. Then i took the calories and made a 30/50/20 split (protein/carb/fat). Then i made this diet, which has been putting on about 2 pounds per week:

2,600 calorie
195 protein
325 carb
60 fat (rounded)

Meal 1:
100g Oatmeal
6 Egg Whites
5g Flax Oil

Meal 2:
90g Chicken
250g Brown Rice
100g Broccoli
5g Fish Oil

Meal 3: (Pre-Workout)
40g Whey Protein
60g Oatmeal

Meal 4: (Post-Workout)
45g Whey Protein
40g Oatmeal
230g Banana
5g Creatine

Meal 5:
90g Chicken
250g Brown Rice
100g Broccoli
5g Fish Oil

Meal 6:
230g Cottage Cheese
30g Peanut Butter

that it my bulking diet which i have been using for about a month. I know it is super BORING, but cut me a break im 15 and cant afford steak, lol. So just lmk what you think about it, thank you

I don't mind the whey pre-workout. If it is less than 1hr before your training then the whey is perfect, plus it ensures you have a good supply of BCAA's in your blood whilst you are training - and it is THIS that is actually more important than your post-workout meal! It is really the main determinant for good growth stimulus.

Monitor your body-fat gains as well - although you are eating very well and you are training hard, 2 pounds/week is pretty rapid growth (although you are growing as well - so it is hard to tell). Anyway, if you are finding that you are getting more pudgy than you would like just decrease by ~200 cals/week and see what happens.

Keep it up. You'll be buff in no time!
