Get some more calories from protien. Drop the blueberries in the morning and add them for right after your workout meal. try to keep every meal with atleast 45 grams protien and add a 6th meal as well. If it can be helped I would also drop the protien bar as well,trade that in for some egg white,chicken breast, and whole wheat pasta or spinach pasta. Drop the brown rice for meal 5 and add green veggies. also 5 egg whites for breakfast needs to be changed to 7 or 8 egg whites or 5 egg whites with 20-30 grams of protein. If you have ne more questions feel free to ask. Oh and post workout use whey protein as your pro source and get simple carbs, preferably dextrose or maltodextrin. hell here is a sample diet

meal 1: 8 egg whites and 1 cup oatmeal
meal 2: 2 chicken breast and brown rice
meal 3: post workout- whey protein and dextrose
meal 4: 1 can tuna and half serving brown rice or oatmeal with veggies
meal 5: 1 chcken breast and 5 egg whites with veggies
meal 6: 40 grams of time released protein. (to last through night)
keep the cardio 1 hour before breakfast like you have it,goodluck.
