Why? What are your protein/carb/fat goals, and what do you like? Or dislike?

Thanks. I do eat a lot of veggies, just Protein more than fibre always seem low.

My nutrient goals are -
Protein - 94g
Fibre - 25g
Fat - 64g

....and I like anything (food lover!) apart from lacto & dairy foods

It's a balancing act - if you eat more vegetables and starches, you get more fiber, and when you eat more protein, you'll often increase fat intake as well. But you are not supposed to (or don't have to) fret over getting everything in line - a good setup should just be a guideline to get in good nutrition - your actual diet should be flexible, and suit your needs and taste preferences, which can vary greatly from day to day.

Your setup seems to reflect a quite normal diet, shouldn't be too hard to hit. "Snack" foods are typically low on both protein and fiber, so you may want to either stick to meals, or eat ordinary foods as a snack. Lots of foods have protein though - grains, meat, fish, eggs, beans, nuts, even vegetables - it adds up. If you choose whole grains, you get the fiber too. And don't be afraid of fat. Consider your fat goal a minimum.
