Wow this is a tricky one, by ur body fat I would say you need to cut for sure, however at your height and weight there is noway you could do that. Well maybe drop to 150 then build up, but still tricky situation.

You're going to add much more than 2% bodyfat if you are looking to gain 25 lbs. With that approach anyhow.....

~SC~

Agreed.

Should I change my approach then? Eat less calories in total? Or is my carb consumption to high, any help would be appreciated I'm desperate here.

Thanks

To many shakes

i also think your carbs are a little low. If you want to gain 25lbs. I would move them around a bit. for example in stead of 6 eggs do 6 eggs with the 1/2 cup of green beans , from the postpost workout meal
