I drink a protein shake 2 times at least, and eat lunch (chicken & rice & broccoli casserole, so forth) 2-3 times a day. I do not eat small portions either.

That only looks like about 2000 calories a day, which is the recommended caloric intake for the average sedentary adult man.

If you're trying to bulk, you need to be looking at 2500 or more calories a day, plus additional for any calories burned by exercise. (With a surplus of 1000/calories a day you'll be gaining more fat than muscle unless you're still in puberty. Sometimes that may be what you want.)

It just seems like I have to spend most of my day eating. :/

I think part of this can be solved by "hacks" the primary one being throwing olive oil on random stuff you eat. Another one is "drinking your calories". Basically all the things people tell you to do to lose weight, do the opposite
