That is a wonderfully well rounded day and I would say that you'd be well off!. The only thing I would suggest is to add some more protein earlier in your day!. That will not only help you feel fuller between your meals, but your body does best when there is a majority of your protein intake at the beginning of your day and then more veggies at the end of your day!. It helps with digestion and overall body function!. Maybe try a tofu scramble for breakfast or something of the like!? Props on your foresight and preparedness, though :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
At a glance that is a wonderfully rounded vegetarian meal!. Props to you!. I'm a full time vegetarian and don't east as well rounded meals as you do!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes, your diet looks perfectly balanced and healthy!. I recommend checking your yogurt, as most contain gelatin (which is made from ground up animal bones and byproducts!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

i would say it is, i never put that much thought into what i eat and i have been a vegetarian for 13 years (for two of those years i have been vegan and still currently am) this would be a typical day for me
breakfast: usually cold cereal with soymilk, or oatmeal, sometimes smart bacon and toast, and always add a piece of fruit
snack: phewd idk what i eat
lunch: hmmmmm that really varies, some things that i eat a lot are veggie dogs, tofurky sandwich, veggie burgers blah blah blah

just try it out and see if you can notice any changes in how you feel, even visit a doctor if you are curious enoughWww@FoodAQ@Com
