I'm up to 175 pounds now and honestly my body-fat percentage has only increased by 3%. I've been asked a thousand times if I am taking something "illegal" yet they do not see the amounts of clean whole foods I take in. After reading your brief description of a diet, I can see why you may have a tough time getting past 160. Here is my brief diet plan...
Immediately after waking up a Whey shake
Meal 1
10 oz chicken breast with 1pound sweet potato (I hate breakfast foods anyway)
Meal 2
2 cans of tuna and 1 cup of instant, low-sodium, potatoes. (Hey, im on a bulk and love em.)
Meal 3
8 oz steak with 1cup of rice
Meal 4 10 oz chicken breast with 1pound sweet potato
Meal 5
2 cans tuna and 1 cup instant, lowsodium, potatoes.
Before bed I take down 25 grams of Casein and I always wake myself up midsleep and take down a muscle milk shake.
I'm gaining like crazy and im very happy with the leanness of the weight as well. What I am saying is this: If you were 225 before, muscle memory is your friend with the proper diet. Either way, good luck, but I am a prime example of what a proper diet can do.
Edit: Also I snack on peanuts and beef jerky throughout the day.
