Hey, I don't just live on this site for your benefit. I have been really busy lately and this has been one of the few times I have had a chance to read posts let alone critique a diet.
Just glancing at your diet, I roughly got around 200grams of protein. I forgot to mention earlier that fitday.com has all the values for food, you enter the food and it tells you the macro's in it. Anyway, I'm guessing your metabolism is pretty high, but I seriously doubt that 200 is enough. Even if it was 225, I'd say you'd need more. Carbs are almost non existent, you have pasta there but other than that I didn't see too many carbs. You should have an equal amount of carbs and protein. Since you're eating from a dining commons I'll assume you're getting more than enough fat in your diet
.
Here's my 2 cents:
Increase protein/carbs to around 225-250g (maybe even 300 for carbs) and re-evaluate your progress. If you're metabolism is really high then this might not even be enough for you, you might need 300+ protein and 400+ carbs. Diet is largely trial and error until you zero in on your "ideal" macros.
I just glanced at your diet and guesstimated the protein based on my judgement, so its possible I undershot or overshot it.
