anybody there...atherjen how bout it

hmmm are you sure that you are 18% bf? how did you have this measured?
if so, then I might suggest to cut before you aim to bulk first..

Otherwise this looks like a great diet for adding lean mass.
a few suggestions however..in your post workout meal remove the olive oil.. no fats there. Also the only sources of EFA's that Im seeing are from olive oil and natural peanut butter. while these are good choices Id reccomend getting in some flaxseed oil, fattyfish(or fishoil caps) or perhaps Udo's oil. aside from that.. looks good!

i measured it at a healthfair my job had. they put two electrodes on me one on my ankle the other on my arm. i dont know how accurate this is but it was 18%

hmmm those sort of tests arent very accurate IMO. it can be off as much as 5-8% depending on hydration levels. its best to get a caliper test done by someone experienced, this test too can be slightly off but gives you a more ballpark reading.
