Forget about getting fat , as long as you build muscle , your muscle burns the excess fat.
As the others above said, just focus on HEAVY compound movements in the gym.
Squats
Deadlifts
Overhead Press
Bench Press
Rows
2500 calories is barley enough to start. I had to up mine tp 3500 calories. I DID NOT GET FAT. I ate clean carbs. [ Oats , Brown Rice , Yams etc.]
Split up your meal into 5 smaller portions.
[ Also up your protein intake to a 1:1 ,{ 1g : 1lb } ratio as per bodyweight ]
