Looks ok.

I'd skip the banana and maybe even the whole wheat pasta.
Add some protein to meal 1 and maybe replace the pasta with more veggies

How long u been doing this? progress so far and what training u doing?

This is actually my first week on it and I am following the 14 day body scultping guide for women. It is basically a 12 week program with 3 days of cardio and three dlays of weight training. I feel good so far, but I am only a few days into it.
I used to do it with a lot less carbs, but my boyfried suggested that I added whole wheat pasta for the fiber and the banana for potassium. I work out before breakfast.

in that case it seems like the banana will give u a good glucose boost in the morning since it's relatively higher gi fruit but i'd still get some protein in that meal.

apart from that ok see how it goes and good luck!

add some eggs to your first meal, other than that everything looks nice, make sure that your meal 6 shake is a slow absorbing protein

bump for the responses - get some protein in that first meal, and if you are dieting, im not sure you need the oatmeal and the banana unless its post workout where you worked out and didnt do just cardio - but more protein in meal #1 will set your day up nicely, other than that looks good. I would check the carb content on the past, and if its too high dump it for something less

I just noticed one thing, the lack of EFAs in ur diet
supplement with some flax oil and fish oils in ur later meals.
i doubt the PB will give enough

You diet looks good, as BA said, get some protein at meal 1 and I would leave the banana. Other than that, I would just do cardio to create a defecit.

The most improtant thing is to figure out how many calories you are taking in at the end of the day, one cannot effectivly critique your diet until this is known.
