Well, you've got oatmeal, that's a good start. Brown rice is a good one, and if you are going to eat bread get yourself some whole grain bread (not whole wheat). To be honest with ya though, I wouldn't worry so much at your age about a perfect diet, just eat within reason and keep at it in the gym and you'll grow. The most important thing is making sure that caloric intake is up and the rest should take care of itself.

I take one of my employees to the gym when I go. He's 17, and 5'10". When we started he was 123lbs soaking wet. We've been at it for about 7-8 months now and he weighed 142 lbs today when we were leaving the gym. He NEVER lifts to failure and he's not really even eating a ton, just more often. He gets 3-4 meals in before we get to the gym at 5:30PM, I buy him a protein shake when we leave and it's working wonders. You seem like you have the drive, so you should get along just fine.

Glad I could help.
