That's still really not that much food, to be honest. A lot of it is pretty low-calorie - I agree with Dr X that that really still looks like you're trying to lose weight. Eat more lean meats - steak, chicken. Eat more nuts, more peanut butter (to an extent), cheese isn't the worst thing. I never really was as scientific about bulking as I should have been, but I gained a lot of weight (pretty much all of it in muscle) by eating tons of meatball subs, peanut butter, I drank a gallon of milk a day, all of it*. The lesson there is that my food wasn't always the most nutritious, but it worked better than, say, cottage cheese because that's so low-calorie. I like cottage cheese as a food for maintaining strength while you're in a cutting phase, not so much for bulking.

*I am by no means advising you to be like me... this is mildly troubling, looking back on it
