No Time for ridiculous gym schedule...

Hey all, I am new to the boards and I have been reading up on the very interesting information to help me jumpstart my muscle building campaign. I see the following trend in every post resembling something near intelligent life:
Eat 5-6 times a day
Work out 4-5 times a week/alternate body parts of focus
Eat high protein, low fat (not no fat)
And read some stupid book

Here are my stats:
Male
5'10"
135-140lbs
9% BF
I can't bench crap-maybe 75lbs
I have a very skinny frame and I would not only like to add muscle, but bulk up all together.

Now here is my dilema:
I have a VERY demanding schedule. I get up at 6 to be at school and I go from school (12pm) to work till 8pm. My time for lunch is non-existent. I need something I can eat in the car, that's non-perishable. I do not have time (or energy for that matter) to jump in the car again and drive to the gym for an hour or two to work out after work. I do not have time to eat 5-6 meals/day.

Here is what I would like from you all:
Suggestions on what 2-4 meals per day should consist of. (I can carry nothing parishable with me from 6-8). I would like to know what I CAN do with the time I have, because 5-6 meals won't work.

Also, I would like some input on an at home workout regimine. I am willing to go grocery shopping for new weights, elastic thingys, etc...I might be able to make it to the gym 1 time a week on saturdays. Also, I do like to run at night and I am fairly good at it (6'30"-6'45"/mile). I normally do 3-5 miles at a time.

Thanks for the help everyone!
 
I'm big on JC's predator bands. They have a lifetime guaranty and can be used anywhere. It maybe the only extra peice of equipment needed.

Eating dilemmas:
Plan ahead....cook EVERYTHING that needs cooking on a day off like sunday and then get out the tupperware.
Keep a cooler in the car for things "perishable"
Supplement other meals if necessary...if at all possible
Cardio should be an extreme secondary thing unless your just a big cardio fan
 
Does anyone have suggestions as far as a schedule for at home workouts?

I am really a newb for this stuff, so any help would be appreciated.
 
A good whole body workout does not take hours. In 30-45 minutes maximum, 3 times a week, you can get all the weight training you need. If you want to gain you should cut your cardio down to 2-3 times per week (preferrably on alternate days).
