ARRGG!!! I can never win!!

[Primal X]

My last bulking diet/cycle didnt do so well. At first, it was great because I was rebounding from a cutting diet where I was eating 2000 calories a day and when I started my cycle I immediately jumped to 3000 calories a day, where as I gained 10 pounds in 2 weeks. At the end of the cycle I was eating 3100 calories a day and had a total gain of about 17 pounds. One month later I have only kept 7. Well my next bulking cycle is coming soon and I want to get everything in line because I think my diet was the reason for my failure. Here's what I'm planning to eat to get in 3500 calories a day. Please help me with any loopholes that are noticeable.

Meal 1: 1 cup oats, 1 scoop egg protein (400 calories, 32 grams protein)
Meal 2: Protein Bar, 2 cups 2% milk (490 calories, 50 grams protein)
Meal 3: (postworkout) 3 cups rice krispies, 1 scoop whey (460 calories, 21 grams protein)
Meal 4: 1 can tuna, 2 slices wheat bread, 2 slices FF cheese (350 calories, 55 grams protein)
Meal 5: 4 oz. hamburger, 2 slices wheat bread (440 calories, 35 grams protein)
Meal 6: 1 can chicken, 2 slices wheat bread, 2 slices FF cheese (300 calories, 45 grams protein)
Meal 7: 1 1/2 cups FF cottage cheese, 2 Tblsp. natty peanut butter (440 calories, 52 grams protein)
Meal 8: 5 whole eggs, 2 Tblsp Flax (610 calories, 30 grams protein)
Totals: 3490 calories, 320 grams protein

that looks good bro, judge how much to eat by your BF%. Dont gain too much fat and youll do fine.

The diet looks fine. But your total calories might be high, which might be why you put on too much too quick. When bulking, you don't want to go much more than 500 cals over maintenance.
