Sounds pretty good to me *shrug*

Just wanted to comment because I also enjoy the taste of natural peanut butter...

You need a lot more food and a lot more protein across the board.

Breakfast: if you're getting egg beaters with yolk, you're basically paying triple price for eggs.

Lunch: the yogurt and pudding are probably completely empty calories. Yogurt CAN have redeeming qualities, but you'll have to clarify either way. Also, even with the best, purest peanut butter, you'll need more protein. Mebbe add some whey to something or just add 4oz of chicken breast.

snack: This should be a full meal.

real snack: protein bar is fine here

dinner: moar salmon and less rice. Perhaps move the rice to lunch and eat veggies instead? Reason being the rice is pretty much your biggest carb load and it is coming at the end of the day. All of that potential energy wasted. Veggies don't go to waste when eaten at the ass end of the day.

the yogurt has 5g protein, only thing I can think of. pudding is mostly empty, but it's like 60 calories for 2g protein and 3g fiber.

as for protein, I try to only get enough to get by, since I mostly do cardio for my weight loss. I calculated what I ate, and I got a bit over 1500 calories. I think thats good enough for me (I'm only 5'4", 141 lb, male).

Virtually everyone is above the 2,000 mark for their daily requirement, but I'm in the "I don't give a shit, I don't care to eat that much" camp myself. You're not going to die by eating that much, but you can easily add a meal or two with virtually nothing but positive side effects (only negatives being on your wallet and schedule).

As for protein, to each his own. I don't really know what a non-lifter's protein intake should be so I won't pontificate.

5g protein in neglegible, as is the protein in peanut butter.

by those standards, everything is negligible unless it's a powder mixed with some water.

False. Every gram is part of the whole meal. If he isn't body building, the amount he's getting in his smallest meal (probably close to 15) is likely just fine.

here is a rough estimate of all the protein:

breakfast: 22g
lunch: 23g
snack: 19g
dinner: 20g

for someone who isn't really doing anything other than cardio, I believe thats a sufficient amount.

The fuck is with the egg beaters? Those are expensive and they're nothing more than 99% whites. Just separate your own fucking eggs and stop spending money on gimmicks.

egg beaters with yolk? tastes pretty much like an egg, but only 40 calories per serving. if you have a ton of servings, the difference adds up.
