what's your diet look like?  Supplements/vitamins are added to fill-in whatever is left out.  No one can tell you what you need, if you don't state what is missing.

Wow, you have a lot of Whey in there.  Whey is cool, but you kind of want a 4 to 1 balance of real food to whey.  Ok, it looks like you're getting enough E from the yolk, and from your multivitamin.  So, you might want to ease up on the additonal E.  Also if your E has a DL on the ingredients, it is a synthetic vitamin E.  Step away from that, it's garbage.  What brand of Whey are you using?  Instead of the one scoop glucose before you workout, try 1/4 of a liter of gatorade, and then the remaining gatorade during the last 10-20 minutes of your workout.  Go w/ the Fish oil, and try to ingest some sunflower seeds daily.  I'd aim for the morning w/ breakfast.  There's some basic stuff for your diet.  Peace.

You're getting fat from peanuts, Sizzler (when you cheat), chicken, (maybe milk, if it's not fat free), and hopefully sunflower seeds and a fish oil capsule.  This is a pretty complex mix of fats, w/ most coming from real foods.  This is what you want.  You want most of your nutrition to be derived from real foods. ALso, if you wanted to Co Q10 and a B' vitamin mix is great to throw in w/ your breakfast.  I don't see a lot of red meat in your diet (you never did specify what you eat at the sizzler, and I have never been in one. I can only assume that it is a steak place).  You might think about an Iron supplement in your diet every third to fourth day.

 Go w/ the Fish oil,

Agreed.  Without going into the whole science thing of long chain, short chain, converstion, etc., fish oil is the best thing (EPA/DHA).  Aim for at least 2.5 grams/day.  5-6 grams/day would be optimal.
