I think it actually look pretty good, how about some more fruit?
Apple's, Banana's, Pineapple, Kiwi's, Oranges, Pears.
I guess the flaxseed oil takes care of the carbs in the morning, but I'm big on oatmeal and muesli, with soy milk as a breakfast, not cereal, too many sugars.
(actually depends on the type of cereal though)
But don't get me wrong buddy, it looks good to me, you can cook for me any day!

Nice diet, I agree w/ the fruit, and also what type of cereal are you eating? And what level are you training for sprint oly iron?

Are you trying to bulk up? That seems like an awfully large amount of protein shakes. I agree with Noel that you should add some more fruits and veg. I'd also recommend shifting your interests from the Yankees to the Red Sox. I hear Boston fans are wicked fast.

Eat more real food for your snacks--as others said, you need fruit. Nuts wouldn't hurt, either.
Remember you only need 10-15% of calories from protein. Looks like you are being excessive there. Excess protein intake leads to a few things: fat (if it means excess calories), kidney overload and possible dehydration.
If you don't have one, get, read and study a book on sports nutrition, such as by Monique Ryan. You will find sample meal plans that include a variety of good, healthy foods, and that do NOT include 3 protein shakes per day.

Dude...looks a pretty healthy diet...but....that much protein, is pretty much a lot...!!!
Two shakes a day, if your are trainning full time would be more than enough.....
Fruits, veggies, nuts, oatmeal, will really enrich your diet....

The fact that you eat so many times a day is great. Your meals look well balanced too.
I would find some more natural food for your snacks .
limit the enery bars / protein shakes / meal replacement junk to one a day max - they are expensive and its better to eat less highly processed foods (if you want a protein drink, just drink milk or soy milk or even make your own smoothie)
some good convenient snack food are - fruit and/or yogurt, turkey jerky, pb & j, etc...
I agree with Noel that most breakfast cereals have too many highly processed carbs and oatmeal or muesli are better choices. My favorite breakfast is oatmeal with walnuts, raisins, and brown sugar (go ahead and throw in flaxseed, wheat germ, etc)..
Make sure that your after dinner snack is small and has a low glycemic index. The last thing that you want to do is mess with your sleep recovery. Perhaps a glass of milk so you get trypophane (sp?) as well?

Real, solid food is always better than meal replacements and protein shakes. Those are only food alternatives and I agree, I looks like you have too much of that in your diet. Try more snacks, and a little more carbs. If you are training for triathlons in any shape or form it would stand to reason that you need the energy from real complex carbs ie. whole grains, rice, potatoes, fruits, etc. And what are you drinking is another thing.

Dont forget what repairs muscles guys its not carbohydrate. Its good having carbohydrate in the form of grains and legumes for energy but dependent on the ammount of training your doing you will need all of that protein. Try to stear away from monosacchrides if you can.
