dude, simplify everything.

just eat and train.

dont worry about intake of macronutrients if you eat mostly whole foods youll be fine. you can eat junk too occasionaly.
just stick to meats, veggies, fruits, complex carbs thats good and all but dont get complicated. you need more calories too.

as far as your workout i would never do that many exercises in a workout i do about 4-5 max. and not three times a week. simplify! go to elitefts.com and read all the articles and cruise the Q&A and learn about training.

i worked out like you once and planned my diet to the T as well, and i got burned out very fast. when i switched to training westside and just eating i starting gaining ALOT.

keep asking questions on this forum too there are lots of smart(and strong :D ) people here to help you
 
OK,

Let's start with your goals, weight, etc.

How much do you weigh? What sports do you play? Are you wanting to become as strong as possible (a powerlifter?), or as big as possible (a bodybuilder?) or something else.

Let's start there and work through this...

Well, first of all, let me congratulate you for even caring at your age. I know most of us feel like if we knew at 14, what we know now, we would be world champions our in sport.

The most important thing you can do at this age, is learn! Educate yourself all you can about how to train, how to eat, take anatomy and physiology clases at school, etc.

OK, I'll be honest here...your workouts suck. Now, your 14, so basically anything you do, you'll grow like a weed, because you have so much testosterone in your system right now, as well as being a relative beginner in the weight room.

I will address the training issue in a much larger post a bit later, but for now, here are the serious problems...

you do 10 sets per week for lower body/ legs. you do exactly 100 sets for upper body per week. (I counted.) Do you see a serious imbalance here?

Also, you are working the same body parts wayyy too much in the wrong way, but don't worry - we'll get you fixed up with the training a bit later.

Also, 30 min of abs everyday!!!!! For Christ sakes, I know you aren't working those for strength or any weight at all, because you wouldn't be able to walk or even take a shit if you did that.

Abs are great to work out. But do them heavy, and not everyday (maybe 3-4 times per week.) - And not 30 minutes - 5 sets or so, and you're done.

OK, you're eating pretty clean. And I understand that since you were chubby in Junior High, that you may not want to eat everything you can get your hands on. But I promise you this...you were chubby in junior high because you hadn't hit puberty yet. Now you have, and I guarantee you can eat anything you want as longas you are hitting it hard in the weight room, and you aren't going to get fat.

The age you are at right now, is where you will grow like no other time in your life. Take advantage of it by eating everything in sight.

One major issue you are going to have to deal with is being allergic to milk. Most of us swaer by milk and drink a minimum of 1 gallon per day.

You are going to have a hard time getting enough protein in your system to grow. Protein shakes and bars, and lots of meat (especially red meat) are your ticket. (One other note: drop the soy protein - it is estrogenic and total crap for a guy.) - They make lactose free whey protein, egg protein, etc. - find something like that and get rid of the soy.

Don't count calories or fat or carbs - just eat a ton of them. The only thing you need to count is protein: and get at least 1.5g of protein per pound of bodyweight. If you shoot for that, and continue eating 6-7 times per day, you'll grow.

Ok, more in a few minutes....

Ok, topic number two, goals.....

You can be big and strong, but you can't be a powerlifter AND a bodybuilder.

Now, you don't necessarily have to make that decision right now, as you are extremely young, but I wil give my input on this...

1) You live in Columbus, Ohio. The single greatest powerlifting gym in the world is in your very town. It's called Westside Barbell Club. The guys there are the strongest in the world. The gym is a mecca to most of us, - and a place where all of us must go and train at, at least once in our lives.

So basically what I'm telling you is that you live in the powerlifting capital of the world. Take advantage of it.

2) Do you understand that if you do powerifting, you will get big, - actually huge! - but you won't be as big or cut as the professional bodybuilders. Actually, you'll be nowhere close. Same thing goes with professional bodybuilding...if you want to be a bodybuilder, you'll be big, but most of the guys on this board are stronger than any of the professional bodybuilders.

Now, as young as you are, in my opinion, its better to start powerlifting and lifting for strength before you bodybuild (if you ever decide to put on a pair of pink thong underwear, oil yourself down, and let other people tell you how nice your glutes look - GAY), anyway, powerlifting/strength training will put a better, larger base of muscle and strength and width on your body.

It will also be much more beneficial to your sports (football and whatnot).

So if I were you, I would train for strength.

But it's your decision.

OK, I'll post some links for you on training. Read every one until you understand them all. Remember what I said about learning being the most important thing at your age? - If you really want it bad enough, you'll read every article, book, message board, etc. - because you know they will make you a better athlete.

Ok, here are some of the link and reads...

AnimalMass
 
OK, remember how I said the best powerlifting gym in the world is in your hometown?

Well they have a website, and one of the main guys there has written tons of articles and he has them posted on the web. They will take you a week or two to read, but I promise you that 95% of everyone on this board has read every article.

Absorb what you read. Learn it, understand it. If you don't read it again and again until you do.

Here's the website:

www.elitefts.com

start with all the articles from the testosterone section. then move on to all the other ones...

OK, I wrote a big article on training theory, and it will be hard for you to understand, but if you read it enough times, you'll get it. I feel like it is one of the best overall articles on training ever...

Here it is...

here is part two:

Here is a great post by a buddy of mine on how to work out for size and strength (basically a really good bodybuilding routine)
