Right time to eat high calories?

[NewGenSTi]

Alright, Looking to bulk up a little here for the next 2 months and I was wondering to try and stay away from gaining too much unwanted fat and without having to eat 6 whole chickens a day I have some weightgainer supplements that are extremely high in calories per serving (1800 or so) and some MRPs at around 500cal per serving. Now I was wondering I know you need to add on like say 2500cal per week into your total diet to gain say 1lb per week, and I know I shouldnt eat that whole 2500 at one sitting because there is no way to use it all at once and alot will be stored as fat. but heres my real question. am I better just splitting it up even over the week or should I lean towards taking in more cal on my workout days and the day after and take in a little less on my off days? like for example say I lift Mon, wed, and thursday I would add like 800 cal to each of those days and just slightly higher on my off days to get a litte over 2500 extra in the week. or should I just take them in the same each day throughout the week. It seems to me that when lifting intense weight and eating extra on those days primarily the body will take all it can get to start rebuilding those muscles and then when you slow down you would take less the next day so that your body doesnt have too much excess to the point its making alot of useless fat.

anyways. I had planned on eating my regular preworkout meal, working out then taking in a mrp to boost the cals after I workout so I have enough available so that i dont bother my other muscles in means of breaking down. I dont mind putting on a little extra fat as I know that comes with bulking up, and I dont mind cutting down later to get back to where I want to be its just I want to get there as quickly as possible.

carbs before and after workout
protein every meal
fats later in the day, away from the workout window

spread the calories throughout the day but have more after your workout if you need to

I'd go with workout days. If you figure 4 days a week of weight training, that's just 600 extra calories needed (roughly). make sure your post workout shake is loaded with simple carbs and quality protein...probably 30-35g. Take the protein content, and double the grams for the amount of carbs.

Any extra calories, put into breakfast. You've been fasting 8 hours during sleep, so you can use em. Plus it helps prime your energy for the entire day. (this all assumes you're not lifting at 7am)

Right, I get up at 4:30 and leave for work around 5:15, I dont get home from work untill roughly 5:00 in the afternoon and I lift 3 days a week after work. so by the time I get home from work and get a preworkout meal in its pretty late so then I lift and basicly load up before going to sleep. I have been doing pretty decent since my last post here. I went up about 20lb in my bench press, over 50lb in my deadlift and about 45lb in my squats in the last say 2 - 2 1/2 months. I am happy with my progress and thanks for the replies. I usually eat a small meal about 30 min to an hour before I lift and take a creatine shake, then imediatly after workout I take a protien shake with about 20grams of protien along with a meal consisting of about 20 more grams of protein and about 100 grams of carbs.
