holy crap do people actually have PLANS for what they should eat eveyrday?!?!? I find it hard to eat the same thign 2x in a row!! I always switch up wat i eat try new things eat whatever as long as there's no trans fat.

You want to eat a source of complete protein with each feeding.

If you're making your oats with milk, ok. If not, you need something in there. On lifting days, I eat big for breakfast:

1srv Oats w/ 1.25cp skim milk, 3oz fruit, 1tbp flax, 1/4cp great granola.
2 eggs, scrmbl, w/ 3-4 oz lean ham and 1/4 cp of a good cheese.

Where are the veggies?? Put some with dinner. Cut back on all of the carbs in the second dinner.

Egg whites with breakfast.
Take out the dressing at lunch, if not, make it fat free. The sandwich - on wheat? loaded with meat and veggies? and no high fat dressing like mayo?

More nuts. Fish...tuna, tuna sandwiches are easy to pack. All of types of fish.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I would like to have a list to look off of...Diet is clearly what is lacking in my life, I have no consistancy. As for the carbs, should I just cut them out completely? It seems like the only time I eat carbs is during dinner.

As for how i set it up, I plan on combining dinner main and dinner 2nd. Like "chicken and rice" would be a dinner, so there is plenty of room to mix things up there.

Thanks again, keep the ideas coming.

No, the way you have it so far, you have carbs with every snack and meal. But it's not bad because they aren't bad carbs for the most part, and you need carbs for energy. Try to keep the carbs at breakfast, and around workout time (pre and post)
