1) Try oatmeal topped with banana slices instead of the banana nut crunch cereal. The more you can avoid processed foods, the better.
2) Try adding more protein to your breakfast. Fat free milk is good, but what about egg whites, yogurt, or cottage cheese? These are all excellent sources of protein.
3) Your snacks are basically sugar, albeit in a healthy form. Don't eat them without lean protein like yogurt of cottage cheese and in the afternoon, get rid of the strawberries and eat a handful of nuts instead.
4) For lunch, get rid of the cheese, unless it's nonfat or lowfat. Add lettuce and tomato instead.
5) For dinner, drop the rice and eat steamed veggies instead. You don't need starchy carbs at the end of the day.
So a revised meal plan would look like this:
Breakfast: Plain oatmeal topped with banana, scrambled egg whites
Snack: 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt + strawberries
Lunch: turkey, lettuce, and tomato on whole wheat bread no dressing
Snack:1 handful of mixed nuts
Dinner: boneless skinless grilled chicken breast or salmon, 1 cup steamed spinach or broccoli
