Your 'ideal' meal day needs a crap load of work!

All it is is PROTEIN! You can't live of protein alone - you need some healthy fats and proper carbs in there.

Pre-Breakfast:
2 fish caps
2 GNC vitamen with amino acids.

Breakfast:
6 eggs
1/2 cup chopped turkey
1 bowl cottage cheese mixed with yogart
1 cup skim milk

Just have the fish oils with breakfast.
Plus - 6 whole eggs?
There is nothing but a lot of protein in this meal.

What about:
1 whole egg + 6 whites
1 cup skim milk OR 1 cup yoghurt
some oatmeal
some fruit

Lunch:
Grilled chicken
1 bowl cottage cheese mixed with yogart
Double hamburger
1 cup skim milk
*usually something else high in protein either steak, pastrami, etc..
Some carbs from pasta or wheat bread.

What about:
grilled chicken
some pasta
some vegetables
some almonds or walnuts or olive oil

Pre work out:
Whey protein w/creatine

add some carbs here...
1 cup milk
whey protein/creatine
oats


Then you can have something similar post workout:
banana
whey/creatine
oats
milk

Dinner:
Grilled chicken
1 cup skim milk
some other high protein food

what about
grilled chicken
vegetables
sweet potato or rice

Before bed:
Cup of whey
2 fish caps.

swap the whey to cottage cheese and add some fats (eg: flaxseed, walnuts, peanut butter)

Ok here is the problem, being a college student I can't really go to the cafe 6 times a day since the 3 extra visits would cost me $21 so what can I do to compensate for the three lost meals, or is there a way to get all the nutrition from the three meals that I do have there.

If you add a PWO shake then you are, in essense having enough and you will not have to worry about it at all:
breakfast
meal 2
meal 3 (pre-workout)
PWO shake
meal 4
meal 5 (pre bed)

Also any suggestions with my meals that I am eating right now. For the last two weeks I have been drinking heavly but I will slow that down from the level where if you combine the days from the last two weeks I have been drunk every night for one of the weeks.

As I said, your diet needs A LOT of work. You might want to start by reading jodi's thread here. I also suggest you take some time to read through the forum and check out other diets - they might give you some other ideas.

You might also want to stop drinking so heavily. That level of alcohol will ruin your health and do nothing for your goals in the gym...

holy crap... what is that like 1000g protien a day and 5g carbs <-- exageration

but still thats waaaaaay too much.
