Critique my food journal

I would be open to suggestions on how to alter or diversify my food intake during the day. I have been focusing on reaching a macro balance, even on days where I do not hit my 2000 caloric goal. I also take a cheat meal one to two days a week depending on my social schedule. I have tried to eat frequently throughout the day to stave off hunger, which accounts for the majority of my calories being in the "snack" section of the entires. All suggestions, and/or criticism is welcomed!

    Everything looks good to me - variety, taste, balance. Keep in mind that when you eat enough (and if your goal is weightloss, 2000 calories is probably enough), there is no hunger to stave off, so you can eat whenever you want.

    Macro breakdown by percentages doesn't tell you a lot - hitting minimums (in grams) of protein and fat is more important, imo, than eating a certain percentage.

    One snack of 100 cals can reach a macro "balance", but if that's all you ate you'd be having issues.
