To keep it consistent at first, so that he has roughly the same type of meal, I manipulated what he already had. I added suggestions, here are the suggestions I provided him:

7:30am - 2 poached egg whites and turkey bacon - or - a bowl of Kashi Go Lean Cereal
Egg Whites are 17 calories, and pack 3.5g protein each so if you want to afford it, throw in quite a few more, possibly 6-7 or even 9. 6 eggwhites is about 100 calories; 9 is about 150. Add that with your turkey bacon and you'll see you've about 200 calories if that, depending on how many slices you eat. Your biggest meal of the day should be breakfast, and 400 calories isn't too big.

11:30am - 2 turkey roll-ups (turkey rolled in romaine lettuce)
wow! great meal! turkey breast is a lean source of protein, so you can pile it on. go for about 350 calories at least. throw in some raw veggies if you want more to munch on

1:00pm - Chicken Ceaser Salad and Sugar free Jello
Another great meal. Adding in chicken to that salad is a sure fire way to boost your metabolism and help you build muscle. I would cut the casesar dressing, it packs a mighty 150 calories and lots of fat per serving.

3:00pm - Bowl of Kashi - or if I'm on the road I will eat another South Beach Protein Bar
Try this. Kashi on steroids. I love to do this if im eating cereal for my breakfast, take a scoop of whey protein and throw it into your milk! BAM! Great source of extra protein and now you've got an awesome healthy meal, and great sources to help burn fat, feel full and best of all it will definitely promote muscle growth/strength which helps burn mroe calories.

6:30pm - Chicken Breat, Broccoli/aspparagus
FREAK HEALTHY! This meal is awesome. I call it freak healthy if a bodybuilder could eat it precontest. I would actually switch this to your last meal of the day, or have it for both meals. Make sure the chicken breast is big and if you want to throw spices on the veggies, that's great, and calorie free. YOu dont have to worry about sodium, in my opinion, when eating this healthy and being this active.

8:30pm - Sugar Free Jello or Popcorn
Popcorn is such a great snack! Try the 94% Fat free flavors I suggested and you've got the healthiest snack ever! haha! If you're ever at work and dont have much time to cook but are in your office for whatever reason or on the way to your car, pop a bag. It's only 260 calories, little fat, 10g of fiber and something like 8-10g of protein. TO boost the protein profile, drink a protein shake with it or eat some beef jerky, or maybe you have a chicken breast with you? Its very convienent to buy these little tuna packets at walmart, they're more expensive but if it helps you stay on track.

I assume he's losing weight on this plan...yes??
VERY low in carbohydrates and fats!! I bet he forgets that he's trying to lose weight...his brain is probably yearning for some sugar!! Unless his portions are ridiculously huge (which is unlikely), this guy needs to up both macronutrients to reasonable levels.

Pretty unbalanced...

is this diet is on the way to be cleaned up ..this guy wants to lose weight but he needs guidance so some meals are pretty good and others pretty average , He just need to tighten it up a bit and he should be fine but overall its ok .
