Eat breakfast unless you plan on cheating later in the day. Oatmeal is good and really easy and easy to prepare to your liking (you can add all kinds of stuff to it: fruit, honey, almonds, etc.). Scrambled eggs are easy too, search for the microwaved scrambled eggs thread that was floating around here.

Drop the trail mix, it's absolute balls. Dried fruit = insulin reaction = fat storage. Get some mixed low-sodium nuts and a cup of yogurt instead, and maybe a piece of fresh fruit or some carrots or something.

Before bed either have a serving of cottage cheese, or a casein protein shake (i.e. Muscle Milk) if you can't stand cottage cheese.

How much do you currently weigh and (if you know it) what's your current body fat %? This will make a difference in how strict you need to be (<10-12% BF and your body goes into fat storage mode).

What is the pilgrim's pride stuff? Is it deli chicken? Pre-packaged? Can you find the labelling online somewhere? If possible, prepare your own chicken breast on an electric grill and divide it up for throughout the week.

Also cut back on the pasta. You only need 1/2 cup for a single meal. Less if you can handle it.

Most importantly of all: are you taking fish oil?
