Started my bulk in September after a summer cut. Goals were to put on size without getting too fat since winter and hoodie season's coming. Started at 160lbs, yesterday's evening weigh-in was 175lbs.
I'm on a 3000-3500 calories a day diet. Breakfast is toast, eggs, and a shake. Midmorning snack is banana with peanut butter. Lunch is chicken, whole grain rice, and veggies. Afternoon snack is a handful of nuts (almonds are the best). Post workout I take another shake. Dinner is usually a repeat of lunch.
Gyms are open so been doing PPL 6 days a week and resting Sundays. Starting to see some good improvement on my lifts (especially deadlifts going from 1.5x bodyweight to 1.75x).
You don't need fancy, expensive supplements to gain, just lots of food (and lots of patience)!

Seeing your progress gives me memories of my first bulking phase. Midmorning snack seems a bit light though, maybe consider adding some Greek yogurt or protein bar? Also, do you have any specific macros breakdown or you just ensure 3000-3500 calories?

That's some solid progress, mate. Your diet seems balanced and healthy. If you're looking to make some extra gains, consider adding some beef or fish to your diet. Loaded with healthy fats, proteins, and essentials vitamins and minerals, they can help with muscle growth and recovery.
As for lifting improvement, PPL is the way to go. Keep ensuring you're lifting progressively heavier.
