    Critique my diet please.

    So I've been following the diet stickies for about 5 months now. Pretty much been following a modified bulking diet. Here's some preliminary info:

    Age, Bodyweight/fat
    26, Male, 181, 11% (1 month ago)

    Training Experience
    Off and on since I was 14, but consistant (3 or more days/wk) for the last 2.5 years

    Goals
    Gain mass and strength. Shooting to be at 195 @9%BF by spring.

    Okay, here's what my diet looks like:

    Meal 1: Pro/Carb
    8 Egg Whites, .25c of fat free cheddar, .5c oatmeal w/splenda & cinnamon
    57g protein / 27g carbs / 2.5g fat

    Meal 2: Pro/Fat
    2 lean turkey burgers with 2 slices american cheese and sugar free ketsup
    52g protein / 0g carbs / 24g fat

    Meal 3: Pro/Fat
    2 Cans of Tuna, 1tbs of flax, 1tbs LF mayo
    65g protein / 2g carbs / 18g Fat

    Workout

    Meal 4: PWO Nutrition
    2.5 Scoops Whey Protein / 75g of Dextrose
    50g protein / 80g carbs / 3g fat

    Meal 5: PPWO
    chicken Breast, ½ cup Brown Rice (Measured Uncooked)
    50g protein / 70g carbs / 3g fat

    Meal 6: Pro/Fat
    chicken breast, 2 Tbsp natty PB
    50g protein / 5g carbs / 16g fat

    Meal 7: Before Bed
    2 Scoops of Whey Protein, 1 Tbsp. Flax Seed Oil
    44g protein / 3g carbs / 19g Fat

    That turns into approximately 368 grams protein, 187 grams Carbs, and 85 grams of fat. This is roughly 3000 calories.

    On this diet, I've gained about 18lbs in 5 months. I definitely feel like my muscles are bigger, but I feel as though I've gotten fatter too. I lift 3 days a week and I've started cardio this week doing 3 mornings a week. I wasn't doing cardio initially cause I thought it might hurt my weight gains. Guess that was kind of dumb. When I look in the mirror, I like the size that I've gained all over my body, except in my stomach. I definitely feel like my stomach's gotten bigger. Genetically, this is where I hold most of my fat. I've always had a larger, lean lower body with a smaller upper body. I wanted to give this diet a chance and see what happens. Overall, I like the results. I was wondering if some of the diet gurus here could look at it and see if anything jumps out at them that I'm doing wrong (besides the lack of cardio) that could possibly change my results. I've taken some pics along the way (no digital) to track my progress and I've definitely gotten bigger all over (very noticeable in my arms and chest) but my stomach has too and I don't like that. So any help would be appreciated.
