I'll toss it out to your guys I'm 6'4 205, I'm a pretty in shape guy and have been working out on and off for 3 years. Right now I'm going to the gym at 1.5 hours a day 6 days a week doing the P90x program. I always try and have a constant diet but it's hard to maintain. Right now my typical day looks like this:
Wake up 8:30 Breakfast: Either a couple of eggs on toast, peanut butter on toast, or yogurt and cottage cheese.
I bring a large mixture of almonds, carrots, and crasins that I eat throughout the day.
I normally get home around 3 when I make a salad of spinach, tuna, and cottage cheese.
Than for dinner I eat some combination of pasta or rice, chicken or fish.
After that I just go back to eating Almonds, carrots, crasins, or blueberries until I go to bed.
The only supplement I take is a recovery drink after I work out (normally around 10 every morning) called ISOFLEX. I'd like to gain some lean muscle and lose a bit of weight (around 200 pounds)
If someone can make any sort of recommendation as to what I should or shouldn't being doing that would be great, thanks in advance.

You're not getting enough protein. And for your height, you're too skinny. You should eat more meat during the day.
Get the book Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe, read it then follow it for your workouts. Also drink a gallon of WHOLE milk each day. Costco has the best price on it.
Do this and you'll only be going to the gym three times a week for less than an hour each time. But you'll gain muscle and if you gain enough muscle, you won't care about having a perfect six pack.
