Hello everyone, well met! I am glad to become part of the community here! Anyways, this is my situation. I have been researching diligently over the past week on what I need to do. Unfortunately, I keep getting directed to ebooks that cost $75 and other non sense. I checked out some of the stickies and now have a general idea of what to do, but yet, I am still utterly confused. If I am going to dedicate myself to this, I want to do it right. Let me give you some background.
I am 23 years olds, 185lbs, and stand at the gigantic height of 5'9"
My father has told me the family is genetically predisposed toward building lots of muscle. My dad is stout, grandfather stout, etc etc... I have been at a constant weight of about 185lbs since last year. I have not exercised or dieted at all. Currently I am eating 1-2 meals a day, and I know its unhealthy. So its time for a change 
My main goal is to buff up big time. I have always been told I could be a really stout dude. So basically I want to bulk up and also get rid of these love handles and this beer belly I acquired from my recently graduated college experience, you know how that goes
I am thinking 10-15 minutes of cardio and low rep high weight on each muscle group 2 days a week, and then cardio and moderate rep moderate weight on each muscle group another 2 days. The fifth I guess could be cardio and abs. Any suggestions or basic templates here on how I could achieve my goal through weight training?
Also when it comes to diet, I am planning on eating 4-5 meals a day, high in protein, moderate in fat, and low on carbs. Basically a lot of meat, veggies, and protein shakes. Would this be viable to gain muscle and loose weight?
I know I sound like a total newb probably, but any suggestions would be much appreciated! I have been working out this past week, and boy let me tell you what, I am one sore sore man.
