This is a really, really unhealthy option. High carbs and high fat with almost no protein, which your body neeeeeeds. If you're looking for low calorie options, we can do better than this. Altogether, your meals for the day are about 917 calories and over 70% of your daily carb intake, and that is awfully low with low nutritional content and high starch and sugars-you're going to bloat. But, to put it into perspective, if you insist on staying this low cal, here's what you could have instead.

Instead of your bowl of oatmeal and honey, you could have:
1 hardboiled egg
1 cup fruit-blueberries
2 cups babyspinach
1 cup iced tea
The fruit, spinach and tea make a blender juice. A BIG one. This is 175 calories altogether, near your bowl of oatmeal with honey.

Instead of your avocado and cereal bar, which is nearly 530 calories, you could fill up on:
6 oz. of chicken (about one big breast)
1/2 avocado
4 cherry tomatoes
1 cup of spinach
Up to 2 Tbsp of just about any salad dressing
Is going to take you to around 530 calories, depending on your dressing.

And that dinner.
If you're craving pasta, well, let me put it to you this way.
1 small zucchini, sliced thin like lasagna noodles
1/2 cup jimmy dean turkey crumbles
1 cup of tomato, chopped
1/4 cup mozarella, fat free, shredded
Italian herbs of your choice.
Layer and bake like mini lasagna.
20 calories

Now, that was me trying to stick close to things you'd probably have or be able to get easily. I can shave about 20 calories more off the dinner by subbing shirataki pasta and fill you up to the point of thanksgiving day (a whole bag of that is a large spaghetti dinner, and about 30 cal on the high end). This total is for about 945 calories, and you're much more likely to stick to it. It's got more nutrients, less starchy carbs, more protein, and is going to be a lot more satiating.

what is wrong with real pasta?

What's wrong with her version of lasagna?

zucchini sliced into "noodles" is not real lasagna…and as an italian it sounds disgusting to me.

To some people it's not disgusting.

I never said there was anything wrong with real pasta. OP clearly has no problem hitting her carb macro. She now needs to focus her attention to adding protein into her diet.

well you jumped in to defend the other poster, so I thought you might be able to shed some light on why no pasta…..

FaridPERU

OMG!!!!!!
THIS DIET IS A CRAP!!
YOU NEED MORE PROTEIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE DO MORE RESEARCH!!

Weigh everything a log it accurately on MFP, this will tell you whether you're within your calorie allotment - as calculated by MFP for your specific body type - and your macros (carbs, fat, protein, fibre etc). Good luck honey!

I'm not her so I can't tell you what her rationale is. I'd imagine one of the reasons is because her diet is already carb-heavy and she doesn't have a lot of veggies in her current diet. OP certainly has the calorie allotment for real pasta because she is barely eating 1,000 cals a day.
