    You need protein at all of your meals and you need a couple of snacks in between that should have carbs and protein.

    Lots of carbs. Very little protein. I would up your protein intake.

    That is A LOT of carbs and not really enough of everything else.

    Plus, like the first post said, eat more homemade. If you add more fruits and veggies to those non-homemade meals that would be good.

    You don't necessarily HAVE to have protein at all your meals. This isn't a requirement. Especially considering we don't even know what kind of exercise, if any, that you do.

    We're only going off of a little tiny bit of info we've been provided here.

    I tend to agree with ^ ... this sounds like insufficient caloric intake, even for me and I'm a 5'2" female.

    I also agree that you should try some things that are less packaged/processed for snacks or foods. Raw Almonds, fresh fruit, vegetables, etc. Those will up your caloric intake slightly but they are better for your body than crackers or processed foods. If you're just trying to lose weight, that might work, but if you're trying to be more "fit" or build muscle I don't think you will be able to with that diet. If you don't prefer to "eat" your calories consider smoothies with protein powders & fruits. You will lose weight like this but it doesn't appear, by outward view, to be very "healthy."

    Good luck in your goals! :)

    It's mostly all refined carbs (very bad!) and very little nutrition. Add more lean protein, vegetables and good fats (monosaturated/polysaturated).

    Plus, it's too few calories. Never eat below your BMR (use the Tools tab to determine yours).

    I'll have to agree with everyone here:

    Starting with answering your question: That is a HORRIBLE diet.

    Followed by: EAT MORE!

    When you've got #2 down, then continue with: less carbs, more protein/fat.

    Unless you like to be a feeble toothpick, but that's your choice.

    The salmon is healthy. And the raisins in the biscuit.

    I agree...also, is that all you're having for the day? You need more to fuel your body-are you working out? What's your water intake, protein ect.

    Everyone will have a different opinion on this. I recomend you keep an eye on the carbs, protein, fat, sodium (and sugar if you want) each day and see what foods are likely to make you go over the recommended guidelines. You'll eventually search for foods YOU can live with and others you can replace with healthier choices to keep YOUR goal at the end of the day.

    Carbs are found in breads, pasta, etc. Google it if you're super unsure. You MAY be feeling sick if you're eating things you body doesn't need/want or they are all processed. Also, make sure you're staying hydrated. A box of raisins does not consitute a "lunch" honestly and if that's all you're having than you could really be starving yourself.
