Answer 1

Instead of having 2 pancakes should off only had one, and you should skip the bacon all together. For lunch you should incorporate a protein, just eat the bar for snack, skip the popcorn and soda have a bag of raw nuts instead, and you should not be eating after 7 pm. And remenber take you time eating do that your brain has enough time to register that you are eating and send out the proper signals to your body to let you know that you are satisfied

Answer 2

IMO - not enough protein and too many calories in big chunks instead of spread out more.

Try putting a little grilled chicken or some tuna on your salad at lunchtime.
Have a little cheese and whole grain crackers with your cherries at snacktime or peanut butter and an apple.
Skip the regular pop (soda) and have diet (Coke Zero ROCKS!!) or flavored water.

You're on the right track, just fine tune it a bit. A session with a professional nutritionist would benefit you greatly.
