Dieting by counting calories. Am I missing anything important?
Post Body

So, I've been eating healthier lately, mainly by cutting calories and preparing food ahead of time that I can prepare without any effort. I can bake four day's worth of chicken breasts in the oven all at once, that sort of thing. I'm wondering if I'm missing anything important, nutritionally - here's what I'm eating, can you guys tell me what to add or take away?

[6'2", 30, 240, M]

[BREAKFAST]

1 piece whole wheat bread

1 Morningstar griller patty

1 tbsp hummus

1 banana

[LUNCH]

.5 baked chicken breast

1 cup boiled carrots

1 cob boiled sweet corn

[DINNER]

.5-1 baked chicken breast

1-2 cup boiled carrots

1 cob boiled corn

[SNACKS] (varies, but usually one apple and one banana a day)

1-2 gala apples with peel

.5 cucumber, sliced, with peel

.5 yellow squash, sliced, steamed

8 ounces pacific gold minimally processed jerky

1 pouch of 100 calorie keebler snack cookies

FATS= 26g

CARBS= 202g

PROTEIN= 97g

TOTAL CALORIES= 1450

Having written that all out, I realize I'm probably eating too many carrots and not enough leafy greens. I just need more minimal-preparation meal items that I can throw in the microwave to reheat and eat quickly. I did manage to replace soda with tea.

This is also best case diet, as some occasions I have to eat out, and then I just do the best I can.
