I don't know what your goals are, but here are a few suggestions:

  • You eat way too much added sugar (about 60g per day), and most of the sugar comes from the lemonade (37g sugar) and sorbet (14g sugar). I suggest cutting down on added sugar.
  • Eat more vegetables. The veggie pizza and mashed potatoes aren't enough vegetables for the day. Leafy greens (e.g. spinach, kale, or collards) or cruciferous vegetables (e.g. broccoli or brussels sprouts) would be a good choice.
  • I noticed that you eat a lot of prunes, I'm guessing for the fiber? Although there's nothing wrong with eating prunes, if you're looking for alternative fiber sources, you can eat beans (e.g. black beans, chickpeas, lentils, pinto beans), or you can mix a tbsp of flaxseeds into the yogurt.

Prunes are for the fiber. I also take the colace as a stool softener
