Any suggestions?

I have the same meals everyday except on special occasions.

Before eating breakfast, I drink two glasses of water

Breakfast: Peach and creme(Quaker oats) oatmeal, with slices of a full banana.
One glass of water, and one piece of peanut butter toast(1 tablespoon).

Before lunch, I drink two glasses of water.

Lunch: Steamed broccoli and green peppers, with a side of cut up chicken breast(2 Oz)
One glass of water.

Before dinner, I drink two glasses of water.

Dinner: This actually is different depending on what I feel like eating(no fast food). I keep my portions reasonable.

Does this diet seem reasonable? I'm trying to lose weight with this simple diet. I'm starting at 360 pounds. Wish me luck!

Hope you're eating a big dinner - that doesn't sound like very many calories otherwise.

How many calories are you eating per day?

Yeah, my dinner As I estimate is around 1000 calories.

Around 1500 to 2000

I don't know all of your stats but I am guessing that you could a bit more than 1500 calories and still lose. I think 1500 is the minimum for men.

Your goal should be to eat at much as you can while still losing your weight.

Your diet looks very plain. I am guessing it is a far cry from what you were eating before MFP. To avoid burnout or a binge maybe google some recipes you can prepare on your days off. You can double up on the recipes and stash them in single serving portions in the fridge or freezer.

Have you looked up a TDEE calculator?
