    Looks good and healthy to me, the only thing I would say is to double your water.. My go to menu is:

    Breakfast: 2 eggs with whole wheat toast, no butter , Chobani Greek Yogurt
    Snack: Small smoothie (mango a go go or something similar about 200 calories)
    Workout: 70 minutes of swimming or 1 hour of body pump
    After Workout Snack: 2 String Cheese
    Lunch: 2 slices whole wheat bread with 1.5 tsp of reduced fat olive oil mayo. 3 oz low fat lunch meat. Lettuce, Tomato, 1 slice jarlsberg lite swiss cheese. Baby carrots or fruit.
    Snack: Fat Free Popcorn or Chocolatey Drizzle 90 Calorie Rice Cakes
    Dinner: Baked chicken breast tenderloins with citrus and basil rub, 2 or 3 cups fresh steamed veggies (broccoli or asparagus), sliced tomatoes with white balsamic vinegar, and 1 cup couscous or 3/4 cup brown rice.
    Snack: Lil' Drums Drumstick Ice Cream Cone or Jello Temptations Lemon Meringue
