Default Bulking Questions/log

Hi, I'm young and have been into fitness/nutrition for a little over a year. I was average height (for my age) and a little chunky when I started following the abs diet, lifting weights, and running. Since then I hit a huge growth spurt and now I'm underweight and need to bulk up a bit. But I have many questions on how exactly to do this. I calculated my calorie intake and it says it needs to be around 2800 calories wich is very hard for me to do. So If you guys wouldn't mind maybe I could start a diet log here and you could evaluate my diet and give me some pointers to get me started.....
Here is some brief information:
Height: 5'11''- 6'
Weight: 135

Workout: http://www.thepumpingstation.com/intermediate.html
I've been doing this workout for about a month. I dropped running (which was a very sad thing for me to do ) and I add an ab workout to the plan. I also take krav maga and go about 3-4 days a week.

My diet usually is something like this:
Oatmeal, Peanut butter, banana
Pwo: Egg sandwhich: 2 eggs, 2 sausage patties, english muffin, 1/2 a cup of cooked spinach)
Ham and cheese sandwhich, broccoli
Almonds, apple
yogurt, berries
Dinner (usually)- A lean protein (chicken), A starch (brown rice), veggies (bell pepper, mushrooms, spinach) My mother is a good cook
Pwo: Whey powder, milk

I usually have a multi-vitamin and maybe some fish oil with breakfest, and I drink alot of water.

Would this diet be considered bulking or should I add more? And if I do need to , how do I do it? Also how long should I stick to bulking? I was thinking a 4 month bulking cycle, 2 months to cut up a bit and the rest to maintain. But I'm not sure if this is healthy for my age....

I would like to add 10 pounds in the next 4 months, but I realize this might be unrealistic....

Thankyou for any help in advance,
Hab

Welcome to the forums.

I would suggest going to www.fitday.com and opening up a food log there. You can see how much you are eating and it will help you make improvements. If you would like the forum to see the log make it public and post the link here.

Do you find adding muscle mass easy to do?

The reason I ask is thats an awful lot of energy expenditure there and if its hard to add bulk then its an area you can cut back and get as good as results

Mind you as an FFB, being one myself, you may find the fat goes one easier so a little longer training may not go amiss.
