Am I eating enough for a bulk?
5'9 and weigh 139 pounds. I've decided to bulk and need help on my diet. This is what I ate today and I was wondering whether I should be eating more, or less to gain muscle and at the same time not gain as much fat. (Some fat will obviously be gained as a result of bulking)
breakfast: Granola with 2% milk = 400 calories
Lunch: A turkey/Cheese on sourdough with lettuce and greek yogurt: 600 calories
I then ran 2 miles and lifted weights for around an hour, straight.
Dinner: Ate two home made bean and cheese burritos with black beans, lettuce, whole wheat thin tortillas, and low fat cheese. - (500-600 calories)
Desert: A bowl of Baskin Robbins chocolate ice cream (400-500 calories) (Chocolate is my weakness :'( )
Thanks in advanced!

I'd eat about double what you describe if I were running and lifting and wanted to gain weight. I'd particularly eat more protein: eggs at breakfast (in addition, not instead) and meat for dinner. I'd consider a nightcap of milk or yogurt to top myself off.
I'd also consider not running so much if I wanted to gain weight.
I'd also drink full-fat milk and cheese, whether I wanted to gain weight or not.
