Drop the toast at meal 1 and stick with the oats - do 1 cup.
Completely drop your 'snack' and make this meal 2 - lean protein and complex carb - either more oats, sweet potato or yam, brown rice, etc.
Brunch - is the tuna mixed with mayo? what kind of bread are you eating it on? Definitely drop the cottage cheese with peaches and the milk - way too much sugar here. Stick with the tuna, and hopefully the bread is at least wholemeal
Snack before gym - drop it! The beef jerky is ok if it's low sodium, but get a complex carb in there to help fuel your workout.
What about a PWO shake? The one place you should have a shake, you don't! drop the shake from the next meal 'dinner' and just have it here. Add oats to the shake
Dinner is good - is the rice brown rice? Drop the protein shake here, it's now immediately PWO
Drop the next snack and make it another meal. No more carbs at this point, just do protein/fat meals. Go for salmon, or lean steak. Try for more fiberous veggies here, cooked in olive oil
Before bed - drop the whey and go with Casein - slower absorption and assimilation - keeps you from going catabolic much longer. Add 1-2 tbsp. of natty peanut butter here. DEFINITELY NO FRUIT! What's the point of eating sugar before bed?
