How does my diet look!?

I feel like this is a lot but MFP only puts this as 1440 calories. I'm skeptical... I also do heavy weight lifting 3-4 days a week and running 4 days a week. I drink around a gallon of water a day. I fell into a bad routine of eating too few calories so I'm trying to up it to loose fat.


B: 4 egg whites, 1/3 oatmeal, 2 tsp Almond butter

S: Apple 2 tsp peanut butter


Post workout
S: 1 scoop protein powder, 1 cup frozen spinach, 1/4 cup frozen berries, 1/2 cashew milk (smoothie)

L: 1 cup lettuce, 4 oz grilled chicken, 5-6 grape tomato, 1/4 cup cucumber, 1tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp hummus

S: 2 hard boiled eggs, 5 mini peppers or 2stalks celery, 1 tbsp hummus

Din: 4 oz ground turkey, 1/2 cup red/green peppers and onion, 2 tbsp salsa, 2-3 slices avacado, lettuce

Evening snack (if I'm hungry): 1-2 scoops protein powder

To me it looks like I would not last for more than a couple of days following it. If it is sustainable to you then that's what matters. If it isn't sustainable then it's not a good diet for you.

You might want to invest in a food scale. Cups, pieces and slices are inaccurate for solids. Then you can be less sceptical if you have accurate entries measured in grams.

Definitely make sure you weigh out the almond butter, peanut butter, hummus, & avocado since they are all extremely calorie dense (and you could easily add hundreds of calories a day if trying to eyeball/spoon out those items). (Also a good idea on the oatmeal and meats).

You are totally right..., I should weigh my food. I just tend to get busy and do it the easy way. I'll try to be better about it!
