instead of doing bodyparts, you could try a movement on each plane - ie horizontal push (bench incline, flat) horizontal pull (any kind of rowing) vertical push (OH presses, dips) vertical pull (pullups, lat pulldowns).

as for the legs, squats and deadlifts are a good exercise for those, then some uni-lateral stuff such as step-ups, lunges that sort of thing.

maybe have a variety of exercises too, so - for example - instead of doing bentover BB rows every day, try doing those on Monday, DB rows on Wednesday and maybe seated cable rows on Friday.

take a look at the stickies too, they are a great help for pretty much everything.

thats just my 2 cents worth.
 
I forgot to post that I work out at home so squats and pull ups are not possible or they would definately be in there cause they are two of my favs. I will have another gym membership in a couple of months but this is what I have to work with at home.
 
Eat more? I dunno man because over the past week I have gained somewhere from 3 to 10 pounds but water weight is keeping me from telling it exactly but I am pretty sure it is not all muscle but some fat gain is fine but if I up it anymore I am afraid I will be taking in too many calories and putting on alot of fat and not that much muscle which I don't want.
 
I say eat more because you are 5'11" and 145 and 19. I am guessing your metabolism is through the roof and with your cardio... 3100 isnt enough.

As far as H2O gains go... Watch your sodium intake... try to keep it constant from day to day and week to week.
 
Not so sure about the metabolism as a matter of fact it is rather slow see I used to weigh 290 pounds but I lost alot of weight over the past two years so by that I would say I have a slow to moderate metabolism but I dunno I will up it a little more and see what happens but the scale is moving pretty well right now but like I said it is mostly water my sodium intake is kinda high too.
 
Oh I didnt realize you had lost so much weight, good work! Now your name makes sense.

Try the sodium thing and if you keep it constant you will stop gaining H2O after about a week and then you will see your true gains (well fat and muscle, but not H2O).
 
Yeah it was pretty hard but it cost me alot of muscle. What would be a good sodium range to stay in?
