eat more. calculate how many cals you need in a day and go above it a bit. focus on protein sources and good carbohydrates. keep the fats to the lower range as you dont want to burn up the calories allotted to you with just fat. quality carbs and proteins will be bulkier and keep you feeling full. looking at all your meals, i say...you dont eat enough.

hit up the search engine for some sample eating for mass plans.
 
Lots of work bro!

For your diet plan you should check the diet board for more responses. You should be eating 6 times a day though every 2-3 hours and eat lots of protein. Take your creatine after workout because that is when it is most effective.
Your workout needs quite a bit of work, look at other peoples sample workouts on these boards as they help a lot. You need to start targeting specific muscles, for example: Monday Chest, Tuesday Biceps & Triceps, Thursday Legs, Friday Back & Shoulders doing ab exercises on a couple of these days, make sure to have a couple days off though. This is just an example to give you an idea, learn what exercises work which muscles first though I found this to help a little http://www.workout.com/exerciseZone/exercises.asp?nav=1&typeid=1 maybe some other guys will have some other sites and advice, Good luck to ya bro and keep up the hard work :D
 
Thanks a bunch! I am editting my workout now. That site is amazing. When its done I'll edit my original post and see if I can get some more feedback. I just hope I don't over do muscle groups with the new workout. I am also looking at the diets and I can see that I don't eat nearly enough - I'll edit that a little later when I can find more information on it. Thanks again!!!
 
hey bro, glad to hear that site worked I found it useful when learning what muscles are worked with each excersise. If you are worried about overtraining then work each of your muscles with no more then 3-4 exercises of 3 or 4 sets, try 8-12 reps for each set. Use low weight and high reps for first sets then low reps and high weight for the final sets. I would reccomend 3-4 exercises for larger muscle groups such as back, legs, and maybe chest and 2 or 3 for bis, tris and shoulders. later bro, keep readin up on these boards there is a lot to be learned here.

Also with your diet are you looking to bulk up or get cut?
 
On my diet I want to bulk up first. Everyone says I'm a skinning toothpick! I have 20% bodyfat but everyone says I look like I starve myself. Plus from my other post they say smooth muscle is acheived by having bodyfat over the muscle and this is the look I am going for. I really don't like all my veins popping out, it makes me look like I'm always stressed.

btw is there any techinques to get fat to move to other parts of your body? There is hardly no fat in my arms but my legs and upper stomach is where it seems to hide.

I'm also really worried about my breathing, when running I run out of breath fast and get sore throats. I really don't mind the sweating and hard breathing, its just I don't like having a sore throat since that leads to me having a cold and that means I have to take a break from my lifiting. Perhaps if I cut most fat and sugar from my diet my breathing will be better?

Lack of water

It sounds like you are running low of water and dehydrating yourself, you need to drink 1-3 gallons of water a day. By your size I would say 1-1.5 gallons should be good, but water is your friend and drink as much as you possibly can especially when excersing in any way drink a few litres during the excersise. You may also need to do more cardio to get in shape, do 1/2 hr to 1 hr a day for 3-4 days a week. If you can't do very much at fist just go at a slow pace and work your way up. Do the same with time do 30 mins at first if that is all you can do but up the cardio a few mins every week.
I am not an expert but this is from my experience and knowledge hope my advice has been helpful :D
