You're eating like a 14 year old school girl. EAT MORE! You're tiny I've seen pics.

1- I'm bigger on this pic: Image

2- What could I eat? I want to be big but I want a six pack. I'm trying to lose body fat (-10%). I'm currently at 18.5%.

Poor kid, your starving.
1.5g of protein per lb of bodyweight, everyday. That means protein at every meal. You need eggs. Don't be scared of the yolks either.
More carbs, good ones like rice, sweet potato, whole wheat pasta.
Fat, you need it. Red meat, natural peanut butter (yes the stuff with the oil on top, suck it up), olive oil on your veggies, and fish oil.
Basically you need everything.
You have put on a bit of weight, a bit of chub, but that's to be expected.
You are not going to get a six pack and get big at the same time, you don't have enough muscle to even think about leaning out right now.
Keep training, START eating and give it a year for the test to kick in. Then worry about a six pack.

In addition to what's been said.

You don't need a load of Carbs from Banana, Oatmeal and Bread and Oatmeal should give you much of what the Bread can, so ditch the Bread, keep Banana, keep Oatmeal and Add more Protein. Almonds are fine, but won't give you enough, even if you add some Milk to Oatmeal.)


Snack: Broccoli or Fruit (Don't chop and change. One or the other and add Protein.)

Lunch: Turkey / Ham Sandwich (Have the Bread from Breakfast here, and make sure you get about 100g of Meat, (30g Protein), so your Cals and Protein are good enough.)

Snack: Fruit or Veggie (Ditch Fruit, keep Veggie, and make sure you're getting Protein.)

Dinner: Turkey / Steak / Salmon / (all of these with veggie and salad) (Good Choice.)

(Add something else here. Don't need a load of Carbs, so maybe a bit of Protein, and something like a Raw Carrot, or a small portion of Baked Beans, or a bit of low Fat Cheese something like that.)

So eating lots is good? But only if it's good stuff?

I'm approximately 160 Pounds, 5'9" and decent shape. I have a good decently cut chest, and okay arms. legs aren't very toned or sized.

Would you suggest that I eat more as well? If you need a picture of me, I'd be more than happy to get one.

I can do sit-ups like it's practically nothing some days, like I can do 100 at a steady mild pace and be like "okay.. now this is just taking too long."

idea was to start doing weighted inclined sit-ups.

I do take Protein Powder Supplements after I get done working out. Plus I try to eat things with low fat high protein in them. I just recently developed a knack for reading the Nutritious Facts on the back of things.

I don't have too much fat on body. Just a little on arms to prevent the 'cut' look, and a little on stomach. Almost Zero on Chest.

Advice?

Cut the situps they aren't helping you. Use plank and bridge. Compound exercises like squats, bench, pull ups/chin ups, inverted row, bent over row, dips, deadlifts, overhead presses.

Work heavy

Cheers
