Tips/Help with lack of bulking results? New to this.

Question

HI! I'm a very skinny man. 5'10 130-140 lbs I think. I've recently decided to really lock in on my health. I normally don't eat junk food, I get fast food once a week after a long day of work where I'm too lazy to make anything. I take my vitamins once a day and have swapped to way less processed food. Soda intake has gone down about 65%. I do strength training and walk anywhere from 10k-20k steps a day at work.

The reason I am making this post is the heart of the process I've been partaking in and that's my calorie counting/diet tracking. I went from eating a meal a day and maybe 1000 cals to 2-3 meals a day and 3000 calories a day. It's been a good month, haven't noticed anything and I ordered a scale on amazon because I really am curious if I'm doing everything correctly. I understand the process, I know it's not an overnight thing but I really was hoping I'd see or feel something.

Just today I ordered some protein powder and creatine along with me planning on picking up some protein bars. I usually eat chicken for dinner but I learned recently I should be getting a larger portion of protein than my usual 40g-50g. I plan to stay at 100g or under.

This is where I am currently. Anyone have any tips of critiques? Maybe some insight onto why I'm not really noticing anything? LOL
