I try to get a high calorie/protien protein shake or weight gainer within 20 mins of my workout.
I also take a slow metabolizing meal in before sleeping to help during sleep time.
I workout in the morning, which makes eating a bit easier throughout the day and fitting in 2 protien shakes.
I have been using the "super pump" preworkout powder, and it DEFINITELY provides a lot of energy and pump during the workout.

I'm not getting enough. I'm usually hungry by about 8am or so. And I'm usually hungry before I go to bed.
My dinner is probably 45 min - 1hr after the workout. I workout at home. I usually jump in the shower right after and then I have to cook myself dinner. So it takes a bit of time, unless I have some leftovers or something.
I was drinking coffee in the mornings, I think that was offsetting some of the hunger. When I don't drink coffee, I'm noticeably hungrier. I need to get some extra items into my daily diet to boost up the number of calories. After dinner I'm usually scrounging around in the cupboards to find something. Not good.
I would like to work out in the morning, but I'm at work at 6:30, and I don't really want to get up at 4:30 to work out. I'd have to go to bed at like 8:30pm.
I'm usually in bed at 10pm anyway, so I don't know if there is enough time for another meal before bed after my dinner. maybe something small, but I don't want to be digesting food while I try to sleep.
