    Doesn't look bad.. make all your meals 6-700calories and do it consistantly for more than one month and you'll grow. (muscle and fat).
    250lbs by next summer isn't going to happen unless your Bodyfat goes through the roof. 30lbs Leanbodymass in six months is near impossible even with drugs.

    I'd keep your calories where they are personally and slowly work your way up to your desired weight, 3200calories is plenty for you, your maintenance is probably in the mid 2000's. Think, even if you put on 1lb of muscle(Bodyweight) per month, you'd gain 12lbs of muscle per year.. that is pretty damn good.
    I've averaged about 8-12lbs muscle per year for the last 7-8years.
    Went from 135 - 225. It's just a long process that can't be rushed, patience/consistancy/and hard work are key.

    Make those changes, and this diet would be better, but overall you've got a very nice diet IMO. Good job on that, but those items in bold are what I would change to it...wtf are edamames?

    Edamames are beans high in protein and fiber. Good addition to his diet and healthy too.
