Hi Mashavu,

If it were picked at random, your day sounds ok. But
I'll critique it as an "ideal" day, because I think
that will be more useful (just don't take it
personally!).

From a strictly nosdiet perspective: 

1) as you point out, missing breakfast isn't good.
It's not good in itself, and I don't think it
ultimately helps you eat less.

2) I don't worry about OJ. But do keep in mind that it
is pretty caloric. 15.2 oz is not small. I squeeze my
own with a hand juicer which (among other things)
ensures smaller portions (because it's shocking how
much fruit it takes to fill a tall glass).

From an extra-nosdiet nutritional perspective:

I'd try to squeeze in some more fresh fruit, veg, and
whole grains. You don't need to be a nut about this,
just keep in mind that by squeezing them in you not
only get a direct health benefit but also (because of
nosdiet limits) get the indirect benefit of squeezing
out less healthy stuff.

Best of luck on day 2,

Reinhard
