Stuck at plateau for bulking up- got 2.5 weeks left

[Phenotype X]

I'm pretty much stuck @ 178lbs @5"9' for my bulking period. I got less than 20 days left and can't gain anywhere past this 178. I'm all natural, and eat about 6-7 meals per day. Each consisting of mainly Chicken breast, Tuna, Red Meat (especially steak), lots of rice, Pasta, Vegtetables, Protein/glutamine/creatine/flax with very consistant training. I get up to 4500 calories a day if I'm lucky, but average around 4100, just to sum up my diet. Is there anything else I can do specifically during this period to gain some clean, bulk??? Please help.

i dont see anything with your diet, what is your macronutrient breakdown? try a 50/30/20 with carbs/pro/fat the high amount of carbs worked good for me. are u doing cardio, if so maybe you would want to take a break on that.

eat red meat as much as you can and you'll put on weight-also up the brown rice consumption

How much Flax are you taking? I would recommend 1.5-2 tbsp per day for your weight.
I also agree with 110% that the 50/30/20 works good. I am bulking with very close to this % and its working pretty good!
Also would recommend at least one cup of oats

Phenotype what's the biggie? You need calories... so take in more calories. If you can't take it in w/ wholesome meals cheat a bit and eat some cheat foods.

If you don't like that you can try eating no carbs for 2 or 3 days, and just eat protein and good fats, then go back to eating a lot of carbs. You'll gain weight.

I personally like the cheat foods to get enough calories in if i can't do it clean.

I think I'm gonna try the zero carb thing. Sounds good. thanks RiskyBiz.

And thanks Vtek for the flax amount.
