First off, what is your body fat percentage as of now?
your diet looks ok, but premature. just read up (mainly about "clean bulking") it will give you the info you need, and see if there are any changes you would make to that diet based on what works best for you. I can say that it definately looks like you don't have nearly enough daily calories IMO. and personally i keep all my carbs around my workouts (before and 2 meals after). but you have the basics, hopefully some of the mods / more experienced guys will give you their opinions as well. some good luck brotha.

6:30AM
3 hard boiled egg whites add 7
Bowl of Oatmeal make this quaker oats, mixed packages have wayy too much sugar
Protein Shake (17mg of protein) why bother? remove this imo

10:00AM
Cup of Yogurt carb only meal? Add lean protein source

12:00PM
Salad
Can of Tuna fish in water add mayo
Banana remove

3:00PM
Peanut Butter and jelly sandwich mixing carbs and fats thats no good. Get natural peanut butter, normal pb has harmful hydrogenated oils in it

4:30PM (pre work out) make this pro/carb
Protein Shake
cup of cottage cheese replace with 1 cup oats

7:00PM (post work out)
2 scoops of protein with Milk
1 scoop dextrose scoop? How many grams is that?

8:00PM (post post workoout
White Meat chicken
Veggies
2 cups brown rice

1. read the bulking sticky, you have some basic learning to do
2. not NEARLY enough food. You're BULKING!

BULKING = ok to mix macros bro!! As long as they are clean! Lose the jelly...

That is actually up to each person.

I've seen people do okay on that (extreme ectos), but most just add a lot of sloppy fat weight.

Those I counse, I do not have them mix macros when trying to attain lean mass and not a fat ass. The way in which you can utilize the top-shelf of the calorie intake by controlling slin levels and not mixing energy sources, has shown (on my protocols anyhow) to yield fat more lean muscle mass and fat less fat.

You mean mix fat/carbs?

Good you can, but you may find you can seperate them and eat more calories in totality, and still remain leaner while attaining more muscle mass.

I'm not thinking about just the issue of fat storage and avoiding it with fat/carbs together, I'm talking about manipulating that into a different pattern to yield better lean mass gains and overall less fat.

I don't think cut/dry like most, you gotta keep that in mind. Too many people see one issue and think there is only one aspect to it. Such is not the case.

As well, if you are a true endo then u are mixin' fat/carbs but staying below your BMS with all of your activity. Bodytypes mean nothing if the calories are below BMR. However, body composition and the way you eat does differ FOR ALL THREE body-types. Again, my advanced thinking, but there is a good reason why.
