you also need a good intake of carbs and fat. check out the bulking sticky at the top of the diet forum to get a good idea of how to bulk. you have to take in more calories than you expend. then post up a sample diet of what your diet is, and people will critique it for you.

Try to write down everything you eat in a day and post it up. Include the macros (fats, pro, cho) and add your stats to it (height, weight, bf%, age). That'll help us see where youre going wrong. More than likely, youre not eating near enough.

Remember bro...you are young and can afford to eat more than people who are older....so eat...don't count calories....that will get you in trouble....eat when you are hungry and just eat balanced, clean, wholesome meals........make sure you get in enough protein each day, but the carbs and fats are going to put the size you need.......your carb intake should be 2x as much as your protein..........lift heavy!
