Then let this be a lesson learned that not all drs are knowledgeable in the field of dieting. He forgot an ass ton of protein and essential fats..and those granola bars, bread, jelly, and yogurts add up to a lot of sugars too

first meal change out cereal to a cup of oats and some source of protein (i use egg whites 99% of the time for my first meal, or some combination of the oats and eggs)

second meal add a lean meat, like chicken breast, get rid of the granola bar and possibly keep the fruit if its fits in macros and maybe .5 cup of oats..

third meal get rid of it all - id, once again, get some lean meat in there with possibly some brown rice

fourth meal is fine

fifth meal id do a slow digesting protein with fats

also the last meal ends way to early imo, maybe add a 6th meal to keep ur digestive system constantly going and metabolism up. i have no idea what your goals are but if you are cutting id typically stick with the 40/30/30 (protein to fat to carbs) ratio and stay in a good caloric range..

Your diet is fine if you want to look like an average joe. Other than that it needs some work.
