Diet is the main thing you need to check out. What are you eating. Since you are 14, you will still be growing hieght wise, so you don't want to cut calories down too much. Check what the nurition part here tells you.
You can do HITT training on a bike - I would suggest that at least one day a week. I"m not sure what the other is but my guess is a total body trainer - is there any programs that came with it?? If it is what I'm thinking you can get a good workout using your body wieght on it
I would try to get some dumbbells

when in doubt you can always hit the basics too. Pushups, pullups, crunches. work your way to 1 handed pushups to dial up the intensity. High intensity biking will keep your legs strong. good luck.

There is a no equipment workout here - look under exercise program - fill out your profile and you should be able to find the right program.

I've looked at your diet and it seems that for breakfast, some days you may not be eating enough at all. 1 banana alone isn't such a great idea as you may think it is. Fill out your profile on the nutrition plans to figure out what your diet macros should be at.

On your posted diet, your only getting 3 meals a day. Try to up that to 5-6 smaller meals a day. When Im cutting for a meet, I sometimes eat 7-9 times a day.

The best feeling in the world is the feeling you get after a tough set of squats after you step back from the power rack and throw up all over the floor.

Your nutrition needs some work....your breakfast needs way more food .....vut out all the juices from your diet...drink water/tea(your own brewed, not store kind) instead...also make sure to get a good amount of carbs and proteins during your breakfast....something like 2-4 eggs, whole wheat/rye with peanut butter, banana or yogurt, cup of tea .....you can also take a protein shake first thing in the morning, 30-45 minutes before breakfast.....
wrestler is right on...eat 3-4 solid meals a day and 3-4 snacks.....you're eating healthy so that's good...don't do any 'dieting' just focus on tweaking your diet little by little....you're still growing...you may grow another 1-10 inches in the next few years...so don't cut calories...just focus on eating healthier calories you do eat....and as you start to weight lift....your body will slowly change into the more muscular shape you're desiring....
my suggestion is to join a local YMCA gym...they ahve awesome deals for HS students(if not then find another gym and ask them for discounts)....you can work with free weights...barbells....dbs.....to build muscle most effectively you need to focus on free weight exercises like squats, deadlifts, pull ups, bench presses, etc....just don't go too heavy...do weight you can do for 10-12 reps...3-4 sets...per exercise...
At home you can do push up(vary the arm position, as you get narrow more emphasis is on triceps, the more out you go the mroe it hits chest/shoulders...you can also raise your legs higher and higher to use more of your body weight on push ups), do pull ups and chin ups, do sit ups/crunches.....you can do dips with 1 arm or two on a bench/chair......you can use a sturdy bucket to fill up with water and grab it in a bear hug and do squats....or if it got good handles do deadlifts.......
jump rope for cardio...it's very effective...20-30 minutes 3-4 days a week....
