    How many calories are you eating? But generally, if you aren't gaining, you are eating enough calories...


    Also, are you actually 5'1 or was that a typo?

    Cool, just making sure it's not a typo... do you know your body fat? I ask because if you aren't lean enough, then it wouldn't be beneficial to bulk as your body will be more inclined to gain fat.

    Not 100% sure tbh the machine that you hold in your hands at the gym says 15-17 have a few picks if that would help

    Do you have an upper body pic besides the profile one? Generally, you want to bulk between 10 - 15%.



    To get to the original questions, if you are eating 2700 calories and not gaining, you will probably need to bump up to 3000 calories. For the most part, MFP and other calculators are just estimates and modification will be needed.

    It's just not enough food pal a protein bar should be used as a snack not a meal so you are loosing out on 2 meals really just having protein bars

    If you don't feel like eatin what I tend to do is have a protein shake but put egg whites in and Oates and peanut butter to boost your protein and carb numbers up for that meal and that does the trick for me same qualitys as a meal just with out eating it
