Opinions on bulking

I've been bulking again for about 3 months (3 months with creatine now too) now and am up 10 lbs or so. I really think I need to eat more (and alot less of fatty dessert stuff because I've gained a fair amount of fat too).

Stats are: 6'4 203lb 20yo somewhere between 15%-17% bf

I've been making great strength gains, i hit 230 on bench the other day, compared to 205 before I started up, all of my pull exercises have gone up a ton and now I think I like pull day more than push. I can't really do squats because my knee gives me problems, but I have been doing deads and cleans, and hopefully I will start some sprinting to help with gaining some hops.

My goal is to get up to 220lbs, but I think I would be a fat ass by then, so I am not sure if I should try to cut before summer. Any opinions that, or what to improve on, or any advice for trying to reach 220 would be much appreciated, thanks!

There are a few pics in this thread from right before last summer of me.

Well can see a difference from before. What is your current diet and training routine looking like?

Also in the mean time check out this article for all your proper bulking needs.
 
My diet pretty darn crappy, in the morning I will eat cereal, or something like a cinnamon roll or brownies (yea im a fatty I like my sweets in the morning), 60g protein shake after workout, lunch I will eat whatever, if it is on Tuesday or Thursday that will usually be pizza or a burger, for dinner most the time I eat chicken and pasta but after that have some sort of dessert food and then before bed a 60g protein shake. And on the weekends when I work 2-9 eating is even worse, usually just fast food if I eat at all. Im surprised I am not fatter than I am with the way I eat, its just so hard to eat well with school and work, and I don't have much of an appetite for healthier foods and vegetables. When I lost weight in the summer I had a strict diet, but I didn't have really anything else to do so that wasn't hard. I guess any tips on how to fix my diet would be helpful, I know its a big part of getting bigger but I tend to neglect it.

Here is the exercises I do on my current routine:
Push:
Bench Press 1x8 warmup, 3x8

Incline Bench 3x8
OR
Dumbell Flys 3x8 (switch it up every other workout usually)

DB Shoulder Press 3x8

Tricep Pushdown 3x8

Lateral Raises 3x8


Pull:

Bent over Row 1x8 warmup, 3x8

Seated Row 3x8

Lat pulldown 3x8

Preacher curls 3x8

DB shrugs 3x12

I have also been doing deadlifts, power cleans and variations once or twice a week on TTh. And I have been trying to switch up a few of the lifts a bit, but not by much.

Right now I have a really bad soar throat and my ear is killing me, I haaaaaaaate being sick and missing out days at the gym, its depressing.
