So I've done a bit of research and I've finally made a somewhat-good bulking plan. I'm trying to gain muscle while gaining very little fat so I either don't have to cut, or only have to cut for a few weeks when I'm satisfied with my muscle.

Here's what I have so far (this will be a school day, which is the reason for my small third meal and the long stretch from meal 4 to meal 5, I cannot help that.)

5:00 am (1):
Quaker Oats
3 large eggs

7:00 am(2):
Protein Shake (whey protein, banana and oj blended)

10:45 am(3):
Bar (http://www.fitness.com/forum/nutrition/home-made-protein-bar-20705.html minus the whey)

12:15 pm(4):
Peanut Butter Sandwich with multigrain bread

4:00 pm(5):
(healthy)rotini with corn, peas and carrots

7:00 pm(6):can of tuna
(healthy)rotini with Ranch Dressing

It all works out to about
2085 calories, 120 g. protein, 45 g. fat, 300 g. carbs.

I workout from 5:30 (time to let my stomach settle after breakfast) until 7 o'clock when I have my protein shake right after.
I'm 14, 120 pounds, about 12/13% body fat.

Would this be a good plan for me? Anything I should change around?
 
i have the same problem with school and meals. what i do, i bring a termos with milk (it keeps it cold) and a banana, and i eat and drink. it might not be the optimal meal, but its better than nothing. And its quick, i eat and drink it during a 10 min break.
 
Seems like the carbs are a little high for a "clean" bulk. You might want to limit the starchy carbs (oats, bread, corn, rotini, potatoes...) to one serving a day and get the rest of your carbs from fruits and vegetables.
 
and totally not enough protein.
meals 3, 4, and 5 are all lacking enough protein, which is why your intake is a measly 120g. more protein, more healthy fat, and lower the processed carbs a little.
also, 5:30-7 is 90 mins...that's too damn long. if you can't get a good workout in 60 mins or less, you're either doing too much, or your taking way too long to get it done.
 
#4 needs more food.
#5,6 you should add some super vegetables like broccoli and spinach. Especially to meal 6.

That 90 min could include cardio.
 
Ok, so should I could take out 7o'clocks rotini and replace is with a piece of boneless skinless chicken breast, lean turkey, or another lean meat alternative?

That's 60 carbs gone there, and if I replace my bar at 10:45 with a healthy salad filled with lots of fibrous greens, do you think that would do?

edit: that was directed towards dswither's post, reading your guys's posts now.

well, I'm using a home gym in the basement and constantly have to re-load the weights for each excersise, so that could explain why it's taking longer for me... but here's my routine if you want to look at that.
Squats 3 x 12
Deadlifts 3 x 12
Rows 3x12
Pullups 3 x max
Military Press 3 x 12
Dips 2 x 12
Bicep Curls 2 x 12
Dumbbell Press 2 x 12

#4 I'm out of lunch ideas for... no clue what I should add. And I could definally add in some more veggies to numbers 5 and 6, thanks for helping.

Also I'm on a 3 day fullbody workout, doing cardio on two break days and yoga/nothing on the other so I don't think I need any more cardio.

I agree you need more protein and I would say a few more calories. Are you doing this workout only? Can you not split the body parts? Youre bascially doing a whole body workout and thus getting less concentration on specifics. How many days do you workout?
 
Full body workouts are superior to splits! He said three days as well.

A turkey or chicken sandwich would be better than pb&j.
