This is the first time ive ever added everything up. I have not been putting on any weight (@202lbs.). I focus my eating around consuming protein (1.5 - 2g / lb. of body wieght) however I have not been gaining any weight. My guess is not enough fat? carbs? and calories??? I'm sure someone here has a formula of of how much P/f/C/and Cal someone should consume in order to gain weight.
I dunno, any suggestions or critisisms?
I'm also not sure if im doing the whole pre and post workout thing right. And my overall timing, I try to cut off the carbs around 2pm.
Also, any suggestions on supplements that I should add?

Your pre shake looks huge to me, I dont know how you take all that in and then go lift. Try something more along the lines of 20g Protien, 30g carbs.
I dont think your problem is overall intake, that seems fine, but you said your using a thermo, that could be whats keeping you from getting the scale up. You either need to bulk, or cut dont try to do both, you'll just frustrate the hell out of yourself.
Along those lines, dont worry about eating carbs after 2, spread your carbs out through the day, and if your that conscious about it cut it off at 6 or 8pm.
Are you lifting everyday? Look into one of the starting strength programs in the Training section, it looks like your routine needs a change too.
