STATS: 170lbs. 5'10", 2837 TDEE
Ok guys here's my deal... I've been following the diet plan I posted and had critiqued for the last 3 months.
I am still gaining strength week to week but have not gained a pound in 2 months!
I'm eating a clean 3300 calories a day. I guess the obvious answer is I need to up my calories... the problem is, my whole LIFE has been eating and training!!! My 550 cal meals take me 45-60 minutes to eat! How the heck do you guys pound back so many calories and still work/have a life?! I prepare all my meals in advance which saves time but I still spend so much time eating.
I know 3300 is a fraction of what some of you guys eat... but I'm force-feeding/gagging myself all day, that's no exaggeration. I'm NEVER hungry, it's always a struggle getting the food down. Drinking water with each mouthful is the only way... but it's still taking me way too long to eat a meal. Upping my calories with my current appetite seems impossible.
Needless to say, I'm getting discouraged... all my effort and no visible results!
What's the matter?! My diet in order? Anything missing? See here:

Once upping my calories, can I replace a meal with a shake? So 3 shakes/3 meals per day to make it easier?
After reading other 'no appetite' threads I've learned that taking Vit C and B12 seems to be a common thing so I can try that. I just would like to some feedback from you guys on my situation. I'm already almost 500 cal above my TDEE so where the #$^$ is all that food going?!
HELP PLEASE!
EDIT: I'm not cycling so EQ or anything injectable is out the the question.
