This is a repost, but I didn't get much more than "eat more protein" in the Diet & Fitness section.
Original Post:
I need to know if this is a good diet plan to stick with, and if there is anything I need to add or subtract. It wouldn't be the same every day, but this is typical of what I would eat in a day.
5am - 8oz skim milk & a banana
6:30am - package of instant oatmeal and an apple
9am - granola or protein bar
12pm - 1cup brown rice & 1cup blackeye peas w/ 1/2cup fat free yogurt and berries
3pm - pita chips(about 15) & salsa
6pm - potato , steamed veggies, and olive oil / vinaigrette dressing
I've already done the math, and this comes out to about 1800 calories, which is what I want. I work a lot... from 6:30am to 7pm usually, and I don't have a lot of time to work out, so I'm trying to get my diet as healthy as possible. I try to do some at home workouts during the week if I have time, but usually that only happens twice, but I can work out on the weekends.
p.s. I became a vegetarian a few months ago, so that is why there isn't any meat on the menu.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not trying to maintain my weight, I'm trying to lose, so that is why I'm aiming for 1800 cal/day.

I just did the calculations for protein. With this sample day, I would get 76.7g of protein. The daily recommended value is 50g. Protein does not mean meat, protein is in potatoes, beans, veggies, rice, etc.
