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.

ya, here are my immediate recommendations:
Move that protein shake from 4pm to immediately after ur workout (keep in ur car, ur locker, you need to injest calories + protein ASAP). 1 hour is way too long.
Your breakfast needs to be huge. try a protien shake with milk in hte morning, meal replacement shake, if you just dont' have time to really make something that early.
i have trouble putting on weight myself, so i take a mass gainer as protien shake. I take one minutes after my workout, and one late night, before heading to bed. i don't eat damn near enough, and still have a tough time getting more than 2000 calories a day, but am able to have put on some definite lean muscle despite this.
