Help with routine

Hi first post.

About December/late november last year i started a workout routine.

Its been dumbell curls, shrugs, raises, pushups (25 between each excercise) and side deltoid raises in sets of 3. I added enough weight so that i could barely do 6, and added weight when i could do 10 easily. I did this about 3 times a week and walk or jog 2-3 miles 3 times a week for cardio, and rest one day. Usually sunday.

when i first started i was tired constantly, untill i started eating more as recomended by a friend. But i have been missing alot of meals lately.

I don't take any supplements, except for MR drink (which probably doesn't count) to get a last easy meal in at the end of the day.

I have found lately that if i miss a single meal i feel terrible (kind of flu-ish), and i've found that if i miss a single day of excercise, i have difficulty hitting my goals, like if i could do 8 reps on monday and skip wednesday, on friday doing 6 is hard.

I have access to dumbells and barbells (no bench but im considering it) Id rather not join a gym for financial reasons. How would you guys suggest i fix my routine?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Eat more, swap the push ups for bench press or dips so you can increase the weight, add in back work like rows and chins, and squat and deadlift once a week or do a variation of them like Bulgarian squats and Rumanian deadlifts if you've no powerrack and few weights.
 
I absolutely agree with man of steel. If you push 6 sets in a workout, pull 6 sets in a workout. You're muscle needs to be balanced.

When it comes to eating: i'm confused as to how you miss meals. If it's because you lack the time to prepare meals; grill a ton of chicken on Sunday night and eat it all week. If it's because you are too busy to eat, look into a solid protein bar that is full of vitamins and minerals. There are many, many easy ways to get a meal in on the go while still eating healthfully.
