I want to add some muscle, but I also want to cut up my abs. So, I jumped back and forth between low carbs and healthy carbs and whatever other crazy diet I heard of; Did crazy cardio or limited cardio; high reps/low weights and low reps/high weights. Then I decided to stop dieting and just go back to eating healthy.
This was my diet/ exercise routine yesterday. What kind of results can I expect with this type of eating/workout ritual, and is there anything unhealthy in my diet that I should take out?

I forgot, I also had a cup of soy milk with a scoop of protein... No, I work my arms once a week. That was that particular day. 2 days after that I did a leg workout:
Squats- 100 lbs. 15 reps 1 set
170 lbs. 6 reps 3 sets
Bulgarian Deadlifts- 170 lbs. 8 reps 1 set
180 lbs. 8 reps 2 sets
I know that doesn't seem like a lot for leg day, but those exercises ain't easy and they are fatiguing.
How's my diet?

froshman,
Instead of picking at your diet and your exercise, I'm going to refer you to the best resource. Best diet resource is the Grocery list for a bodybuilder post under this category (Specific Diets & Nutrition Discussion - also Recipes).
Second, for your workout, why not try using one of the FT programs? Personally I bounce back and forth between FT and my own workouts. Keeps the body guessing but also may remind you of a few forgotten routines/exercises.
What you are doing is more for shocking. Intensity is important, but increasing intensity does not have to be so far fetched as no rest inbetween sets. Small changes can increase the intensity enough to shock the muscles into growth. 0 rest between sets isn't bad, and I've used it myself as a shocking method, but not as an everyday workout. Good luck!

Seeking out motivation does not motivate you to seek out results.
