Welcome. When I joined this site I had been training for 15 years maybe a little more and I was stuck at a tad over 200lbs for years. I was lean and looked good, but I've gained nearly 50lbs since then and I'm just as lean. Follow the info here and you will be well on your way to tremendous gains.
As far as your diet, I don't see much in the way of fats and calories in general. Up the good fats and eat more food and you will see better gains and faster results. It's hard to tell yourself that it's OK to eat the lasagna and subs, but it's GOOD!

I would aim for at least 3200 calories. Your diet is very clean. Loosen it up a bit. My wife was dieting on 2500 calories a day...

 

[peak-j]

Thanks man, i will see what else i can scrounge up to eat on!

welcome to MuscleChemistry everyone

Bump your oat intake up to 1 full cup, also you can take a little bit more cottage cheese as well. And as far as other things to add in, try adding some beef jerky for a snack, it's full of protein and will give your taste buds exactly what they want. Also, like The Dude said, add some other foods in, it won't hurt you to just add some calories as your diet is very strict as it is now.

Welcome to MC!!!

Thanks big n! I can eat beef jerky all day long if it was in front of me.

Yea, me too, it gets pricey though, I love deer season so I can stock up on jerky

 

[peak-j]

I just so happen to have about 5 lbs of deer meat i can make some up this week!

There you go bro, that'll add some calories and protein to your diet. It's a little high in sodium, but that's not the worst thing you could put in your body
