WOW, that seems like a ton of food now that I've gotten it typed out, what do you think? | You should be eating 3 cups of vegetables per day, with maximum 1 cup coming from the "Other Vegetables" list. Right now you are eating more. Maybe you want to cut down on the lettuce.
Cheese is limited to 3-4 oz per day. I'm not sure how much those 1" cubes weigh.
Otherwise I think it looks pretty good. Are you getting enough fat there? You should be aiming for approx. 65%. Also check that over half of your net carbs are coming from vegetables. I moved this thread to the "Review My Menu" forum.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
