A fitness and nutrition inquiry, all help appreciated.

Hello!

I'm fifteen years old, 184/185cm tall and weigh 64kg...
I am highly interested in overall 'leanness' and have some questions.

But first, I'll describe my weekly routine.

Everyday (except Sunday which is my rest day) I wake up at 6.25am to go
running- Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday I do 30 minutes over an
approximate distance of 3km (not really sure as I have never measured the
oval laps), whereas I do some HIIT on Tuesday and Thursday with 5-10 minutes of rope skipping.

I eat at 8.am, 10.45am, 1.00pm, 3.20pm, 5.30pm and 7.45pm. I am relatively
conscious of my diet; I never eat sweets/junk food of any kind, of course don't smoke or drink. My breakfast consists of either porridge w/ banana, 4-5 eggs with 2 wholegrain slices of toast and cereal with yoghurt. My snack in school (2nd meal) is a piece of any fruit with a nut bar. 3rd meal is a sandwich-wholegrain bread or normal-, consisting of ham, sour cream or cottage cheese, some cheese, tomato and lettuce. Same goes for 3.20pm meal. At 5.30pm, or lunch, I eat anything that is server on the table; my mother is a great cook and cooks relatively healthy meals. With those I eat salads when server. For my last meal I might eat some fish or lunch leftovers, maybe some fruit depending on the day, or peanut butter/cottage cheese. Throughout the day I consume more than 2 litres of water a day.

Additionally, I do 2 weight training session when I come from school (3.50pm) and one before the last meal. From start to finish, it goes like this: bicycle motion for a minute, 10x10kg lifts each arm, repeated 3 times, 20 perfect-form pushups, 25 weighed(10kg) squats, 10 side raises (shoulders) each arm 5kg, 40 crunches, 20 of those I turn on the side (for obliques), leg scissors for a minute or so, again 10x10kg lifts each arm, 10 side raises as before, 20 leg lifts, 15 10kg overhead raises while lying on the floor, 15 20kg bench presses, 2 minutes static hold, 10 pushups, 10 leg lifts, 10x10kg lifts each arm, bicycle motion again for a minute and 20 V-ups, and finishing off with 20 weighed calf raises (10kg).

Now when you have an idea of my routine, I have a few questions on my mind.

A side of me wants to continue losing fat as I love the look of my abs (my whole body is rather muscular + a very visible 6-pack with obliques), but a side of me want to gain lean weight (my goal would be 70kg). Any advice?

According to my diet, I know I haven't gone into detail, but do you have any recommendations?

I've been reading on other forums and threads that my cardio should be of 45-60 minutes for effective results. Well, I seem to run out of energy at about 25-30 as I run before breakfast. My leg muscles are also fatigued. Therefore, should I gain more muscle on my legs and is my time normal?

Over the week, I have a maximum of 3 dairy serving (i.e. milk, yoghurt, cheese), well I stopped drinking milk since I began with my transformation-weights 6 months ago, running 3 months and whole body workouts 1.5 months ago. I know I need calcium as I still am growing, but how will I be affected by drinking a cup (250mL) of milk a day?

That all folks! :)

Thank you.
 
well firstly your age is a great age to be starting to weight train cause you will have very high testostarone levels, which is good.

In terms of keeping lean and training more for size etc if your training intensity is good etc then i doubt you will lose lean body weight, i think you will get leaner. it can also depend on your body type they way your body responds to exercise and the proportion of fast/slow twitch muscle fibres you have.

i am a rugby player so i do cardio type training 3 times a week, but during the off season i do no cardio based work but do around 8-9 weight training sessions a week and i am leaner than when i am in season doing cardio based stuff. i think for you at your age you will have to experiment and find out what works for you, i love just weight trianing and it keeps me very lean with a bit of boxing and 10-15 mins of HIIT 2-3 times a week at the end of workouts.

experiment, see what happens and let us know your results. ben

If you did so to help me, I appreciate the effort, but no thanks.
 
but during the off season i do no cardio based work but do around 8-9 weight training sessions a week and i am leaner than when i am in season doing cardio based stuff. [SIC] i love just weight trianing and it keeps me very lean with a bit of boxing and 10-15 mins of HIIT 2-3 times a week at the end of workouts.

Honestly officer, no cardio work going on here. Just this HIIT training that gets my heart and lungs raging, but it's not cardio I swear.
