No, the calorie intake is too low. Try not to cut your intake so much. Remember, slow and steady stays off.

This plan has a dangerously low calorie count of 775. Regardless of your weight, height, sex, and exercise level, this is too low.

In addition, I do not see any milk products at all...so that would be something to consider adding. You have the majority of your calories coming from carbohydrates and this diet would also not provide enough protein or essential fats.

However, you can modify it to be a good diet. Increase the number of egg whites, and perhaps make them with some low fat cheese. Have a glass of milk in the morning instead of flavored water. Have snacks of fruit or nuts. Include some fruit in your lunchtime meal, and perhaps a yogurt as well. Have a non-processed supper, as the one you listed is likely very high in sodium (which can impede weight loss). You can easily make a stir fry using any sort of veggies you like, lean cuts of meat/fish/chicken, spices, a bit of olive oil, and serve it over brown rice or whole wheat noodles...it will taste much better and be better for you.

HOpe this helps.
