    Diet Help, Please!

    I've been dirty bulking for about 3 weeks now and have put on about 6 pounds, most of which is probably fat. I was taking in about 5000 calories a day, and not really counting my macros except for getting 300 grams of protein. im switching to a clean bulk now. Please let me know how this diet looks.
    its based on one i used last year, but updated based on things ive read recently, particularily with more carbs than last time.

    Height: 5'9"
    Weight: 175 or so
    Bf%: About 11%
    Age 22

    My metabolism is a bit quick, so I'm still planning on putting in around 3800-4000 calories per day.

    My goal is is a clean bulk. I'm not currently taking anything except protein, and a preworkout NO shake. I workout 5 times a week with weights, cardio 3x per week at about 45 mins.


    Meal 1 (8am)
    4 egg whites, 4 eggs
    Cut oats
    protein shake
    55g protein, 60g carb, 10g fat

    Meal 2 (11:00am)
    Turkey Burgers (no buns)
    cup yogurt
    green beans (or green veggies)
    55g protein, 25g fat, 5g carbs

    Meal 3 (1:00pm)
    Boiled Chicken*
    Whole wheat pasta, garlic salt, fresh tomatoes
    60g protein, 70g carbs, 2g fat

    Meal 4 (4:30-5:00pm, off work)
    Fish sauteed in olive oil (tilapia or cod, generally)
    Broccoli or Brussel sprouts
    Protein Shake
    60g protein, 5g carbs, 25g fat

    Preworkout (5:30pm)
    Pump Fuel.

    Workout

    PWO (7:45)
    Advanced shake
    40g protein, 15g carb, 2g fat

    Meal 5 (8:15pm)
    Boiled Chicken*
    1 cup brown rice (sometimes white)
    60g protein, 70g carbs, 5g fat

    Meal 6 (10:00)
    Lean Beef Burgers (no bun)
    Fresh tomato, lettuce, onion, sugar free ketchup
    salad, regular dressing
    50g protein, 5g carbs, 30g fat

    Bed (11:00pm or so)
    casein shake
    40 g protein, 3g carbs, 2g fat

    *Chicken is always with either hot sauce, teriyaki sauce, or sugar free/fat free bbq sauce (scotts bbq sauce from carolina is the best).

    totals
    about 400g protein, 230g carbs, 90g fat. also im pretty sure its right about 4000 cals.

    This is my diet Sunday Through Friday. Saturday is my cheat day.
    Sunday i almost never make it up for the first meal, so thats pretty much eliminated and it makes 5 meals a day for me on Sunday.

    anything im missing or anything i should take out? im starting this on sunday. giving myself the weekend to eat. any advice would help alot!

    the proteins are so high simply to increase calories.
    i know i dont need 400 grams of protein, but if i drop it to 300 grams of protein i lose 400 calories. is there a better way to add calories??

    carbs are a bit low for a bulk, up it to 400-500g
    add fat to your 11pm meal (PB, almonds, or other healthy fats)
    at 175lbs. u should be eating 200-350(max) grams of protien
