Ok first of all, read this (http://training.fitness.com/weight-t...rst-34522.html) sticky in the weight training forum as there is some great information there, you might find that your split isn't the best it could be... there's also plenty of awesome sample programs there as well you can check out.
The second thing, 3000 calories is actually not that much. I am a lightweight rower and as such cannot afford to gain weight (check out my journal for some lengthy discussion regarding weight and calories and the importance of calorie counting), and when I meet my diet plan I eat more than 3000 calories, closer to 3500 and I am not gaining weight, i've lost weight on occasion in fact...
Basicly, if you're not gaining weight then you need to increase your calorie count. http://training.fitness.com/nutritio...1-a-32846.html
First figure out your BMR (Base Metabolic Rate) (link is to the sticky in the nutrition forum) then calculate your approximate calorie expenditure (there's a basic multiplier available in the same sticky) or if you want to get better results calculate your exact caloric expenditure. When you've done that you need to eat roughly 500 (or 20% of your required amount) calories more than that to gain weight.
Make sure you're getting all the correct macro's and from the right sources too.


Also I would highly recommend reading the links that Chillen posts frequently in threads started by new users, he is extremely knowledgeable and has 'been there done that' when it comes to transformations. He's this forums own living legend Definitely recommend giving them a read (heres an example http://training.fitness.com/weight-l...tml#post337006)
Get all that right and you should be right.
Good luck!
