Completed below, with total calories, carbs, fat, and protein per meal and the grand total. It is noted which is pre and post work out meal. Let me know if anything is off the mark, especially with regards to carbs in the morning, pre and post work out on simple and complex carbs.
Too much fruits/simple carbs?
Is the ratio of fat, protein, carbs, excellent?

I weight 142 pounds and am aiming to bulk up. I eat every two hours after the last bite.

looks good to me.

3600cals.. how much weight do you think you'll gain per week with that?
 
1 to 1.2 pounds a week. I work out every single day. I do regular work out 3-4 days a week depending on the day of the week I begin after a day of recovery, Sunday or Monday. Back, biceps, and traps on the same day. Triceps, chests, shoulder on another day.

On my "recovery days"; I do also work out, focusing exclusively on my legs plus a good fifteen minutes of HIIT running-side comment; body-builders, for those who don't, work on your legs for god-sake, you look completely absurd with those skinny legs. I complete all of my workouts in under an hour. In addition, I do at least 45 minutes per day combined doing dynamic and static stretching. I walk at least an hour daily to work, stores, etc.

My diet is still enough for that are they not? My carbs timing with regards to simple and complex carbs are on the marks?

I'm not really that into carb timing. Simple carbs after, maybe between and during workouts and otherwise it doesn't matter that much. Fruit, even though it contains sugar, is kind of exempt from that rule, fruit is excellent but you should eat it together with some protein, but you are doing that at breakfast so it's all good.

I wouldn't eat more calories; 1lbs weight gain a week sounds good.

training every day? I don't get your program.. you train regularly 3-4 days a week with only upper body.. then you train legs on your recovery days? that makes no sense..
And why are you doing a split when you're new to weightlifting? I'd rather do a full body workout, upper lower or push pull split. You should really hit everything at least 2 times a week. But it seems you're doing that only that you're spreading it out a lot.
 
I have just posted this elsewhere so I will just quote

A noob should definitely look at a FBW like the 5x5 which has 8 exercises Squat, Bench Press, Overhead Press, Deadlift, Barbell Rows, Pullups & chinups and Dips. Within 6 months you can squat 1.5 times your own body weight, enough to get a good foundation.

You definitely need compounds to get good gains. You cannot work arms 4 times a week then do some walking/cardio and say you have worked legs. Start with the 8 exercises above so that when you bulk up to say 180 or 220 you are still strong enough to do pull-up or chin-ups.
 
I am somewhat picky about carbs time. I do believe it to be of importance based on what i have read so this is why I am asking about it.

My "recovery" days are in reference to upper body since most people usually don't focus on legs alone. So I don't see why I can't work out daily. My upper body is still in recovery mode as long as I don't work them out anyway right? Or am I wrong on that one?

Should I really focus on doing FWB since I am new to it? In addition to explanation about legs above, look on it below as well. And if you still insist on it, would it be just as good doing regular exercises that focus on FBW instead of explosive exercises as outliined above?

For after work out, I consume whey protein shake, two banana, and pasta. Is it okay to consume pasta after work out as well?

The reason I am not doing FWB, and especially with those exercises as mentioned in the quote is that they are remarkable explosive in nature for impressive muscle gains. I want to focus on increasing my strength for a month or two before focusing on mainly muscle gain while increasing weight. I do pull-up or chin-up daily with a machine which I can adjust the weight. I am lightening the weight by five pounds every two-three weeks so I'm getting there to weight-less chin-up and pull up anyway.

I should have made it clear; on legs day, HIIT is in ADDITION to doing legs exercises such as leg presss, squat, etc.
 
Blackbeard, I understand what you're getting at. I have not explained how I will train. I am willing to listen and take advices from people here but few things I will absolutely not do for the next six months are; squat, deadlift and bench press. Now don't get me wrong, I love bench press but my body is not yet ready for it, even though I could do it. For the other two, well it is just utterly retarded to do it on my-relative to the nature of these two explosive exercises-weak body and risk injury, on the knee and back. I think this is a bad advice to newcomer and you should have known better. These are two that you prepare for building explosive muscles and strength, not as “preparation” itself.

I am hoping to hear more inputs from other members on my diet.

It is actually an insult to the global fitness community and respected coaches like Mark Rippetoe of to call it "retarded" on the inclusion of squats, deads, bench for newbies. I'm sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear but it is sheer stupidity to start insulting recognised programs as retarded.

May you continue in your endeavours and wait for those who want to tell you what you want to hear instead of what you should be doing as a newbie.
 
There's no problem in a newbie learning squats and deads, but the technique needs to be learned correctly.

And squats and deads aren't explosive exercises. They can be done explosively if you use light weight and fast reps, but they aren't explosive in nature (like the olympic lifts are)

If you don't want to take the advice on this site, that's up to you.
 
I am just merely taking caution to the bodybuilding. I only do not think my body is ready for those two exercises, however safe they are. Maybe I shouldn't called it "retarded" to do so for the newcomers. These two are not the be it or end it all approach. Just because I'm not doing them doesn't mean I'm not listening. They do have their value, maybe even among newbies but not with me, not at first.
