You probably take in more calories than you think. Trust me, you'll know if you are getting malnourished.
I mean, a "salad" could be between 200 and 1500 calories depending on the size, amount/type of meat, amount/type of dressing. But just based on what he said, his smoothie has no heavy calories and is mostly fruit, and the grilled chicken/salad thing could vary depending on portion sizes and sides. The breakfast is good, you generally don't need more than 300 calories for breakfast and they should be something grainy that is going to give you immediate carbs and wake your brain and body up, but he's not eating that much for the rest of the day it seems.

Yes. I think four is too low, shoot for five or six. It's ideal to be eating something every 2 or 3 hours so your metabolism never gets complacent. Based on what you said, I'll make a suggestion:
Meal 1: Fruitbar is fine. Make sure it isn't overly loaded with sugar, though. Something like a fruit and oat bar with low sugar would be good. Meal 2: The sandwich is fine, just watch the type of bread and make sure the meat is lean. Stack with vegetables. I prefer a "second breakfast" for my second meal, I usually eat regular high fiber cereal for meal one and oatmeal for meal two. Meal 3: Smoothie works. Meal 4: Skinless chicken, any type of non fried seafood, lean cut of ham. Choose your meat. Add a carb like brown rice or baked beans and a green vegetable. Just keep the portions small. Meal 5: Something somewhat light. I prefer soup for my last meal of the day.
Keep each meal between 300 and 350 calories. Should average to around 1500-1700 calories for the day. Eat every three hours, on the dot, with your first meal taking place within minutes of waking up.
