I jog and do abs on a daily basis
the bowflex is littered with clothes all over it
I will make room for it once I iron all these shirts

Gatorade isn't terrible, but it's meant to be consumed when you need to replenish electrolytes (during/after strenuous exercise).
I'll give you a typical day for me:
wake up (around 10:30 so this is lunchtime for a lot of people)- bottle of water, bowl of protein enriched Kashi cereal with nonfat milk (good source of protein, fiber, whole grains), and a multi-vitamin (I'm using ON's Opti-Men) (230 cal, 18g protein)
School - I'm at school for 2-4 hours a day...I'll bring a sandwich bag of raw almonds (make sure you have gum if you're eating these in public), or some type of healthy snack bar. I try to drink water, but a diet coke is pretty common for me (can't let those professors put me to sleep) (200 cal, 10g protein)
3 pm - small meal...usually some type of leftovers. Yesterday I had a small bbq chicken breast and haiga rice (look it up...it's great) (350 cal, 16g protein)
Work out
Post workout - protein drink...chocolate ON whey mixed with nonfat milk (220 cal, 33g protein)
Dinner - I typically eat either chicken or fish, brown or haiga rice, salad with LIGHT dressing, multivitamin (500 cal, 25g protein)
Couple hours after dinner - plain yogurt, fruit, water (250 cal, 8g protein)
Late night - something healthy...plain yogurt or almonds. Yogurt or milk is good because of the casein protein content (slow digesting while you sleep) (200 cal, 8g protein)
Sleep (around 2-3)
That should be something like 1950 calories, 118g protein...that leaves some room for error as far as calorie intake goes.
that looks like a good meal plan. I drink a heaping scoop of whey protein with water about 1/2 before a workout also.
