^ Just a heads up, since you're now eating more and getting stronger, try to gauge your strength to weight gained ratio as well.
Say for example you gained 5 pounds of weight but only gained 5 pounds on your bench and squat, that's a 1:1 ratio so it's likely all fat. If you gained 5 pounds of weight but gained 10 pounds on your bench and 15 pounds on your squat and 20 on your deadlift it's likely to be mostly muscle & you're on the right track.
Edit: I was smoking with a cook after dining @ the local Chinese buffet and asked him how they even make money, considering that for $11 bucks eat yourself to death on shrimp, oysters, mussels, beef etc ... He told me there's a huge store in your city where restaurants buy their meat in bulk. 32 full chickens for $11 and 10 lbs of shrimp for $8 for example. Might have to get a big freezer though. Do you know the name of the store/warehouse by any chance?
Might help out on protein costs.
