I would suggest taking meals more often. Try to eat 6-8 meals a day. Not just the standard 3 meals.
Every meal doesnt have to be a big one. I would find some other things to snack on besides just toast. Hopefully its grain toast your eating and not white toast. PB&J on whole grain makes a good snack.
Try to keep carbs to Low GI carbs mostly if possible. Simple carbs right after your workout to spike insulin while drinking a protien shake.
There is a lot of information on proper bulking diets in the nutrition forum to take advantage of.
At 170lbs you should probably shoot for around 3000-3500 calories a day, maybe even more depending on your metabolism.
Most people will suggest 1g protien /lb. However there are others that will go up to 2g. Personally I shoot for 1g. I know the boys doing the DC shoot for 2g, but thats another story.
Always multivitamin, omega oils, whey protein. You can add bcaas, creatine, NO are whatever supps. you want to experiment with.
Good luck and welcome to the dungeon
Oh and if you wanna pay for overpriced products then I have no problem with MuscleTech, LOL! There are other products that do just as good and better job that are cheaper.
