If you don't know how much of what you are eating how can you make the right adjustments? By further guessing?

True story here CFD.
Guy stops me in the gym, complaining he cannot gain any weight, and he is eating all day long. I asked him to write down his meals and I would gladly help him out. A couple weeks goes by, I see him, he keeps complaining about not gaining. Finally, he brings in a list of his meals for two straight days. I look at it, look at him, look at it, look at him and ask him again what his goals were. He replied "get big, gain muscle and size". I handed him his list and told him his meals were perfect if he was a high school cheerleader.
In his head, 'eating all day long' include a pack of crackers, some chips, a candy bar, an actual turkey sandwich, and little junk food items.
But in his mind, he was eating all day long, and could not figure out why he couldn't gain. It was a lot of education needed, but he finally got it.
