New - need help and advice...

I apologise to the moderators for posting in two sections Last year this time, I used to weigh 12.5 stone when I first started weight training and cardio. I lost a stone and a half and moved to 11 stone. I am now back up to 14 stone (about 200 pounds), looking to lose the stomach, love handles and gain muscle mass. I am currently working the following regime: MON: CHEST + BICEPS + ABS + CARDIO (10 mins) TUE: CARDIO (30 mins) WED: BACK + TRICEPS + CARDIO (10 mins) THUR:CARDIO (30 mins) FRI: SHOULDERS + LEGS + CARDIO (10 mins) SAT: CARDIO (30 mins) I lift 30KG (inc the bar) on when working the chest. Biceps and shoulders I lift 10KG I eat 5 to 6 times a day with three litres of water a day. I mainly eat food high in proteins but only eat enough to keep going for three hours or my next food fix. Is this above all ok... or do I need to change anything? BTW I sprained my ankle real bad yesterday while playing soccer, would it be ok to use the rowing machine?
