Hey - ok, breif points:
- When do you workout?
- What exactly are your goals? You say you want to increase strength and endurance but is that all?
- What is your activity level otherwise? Do you do sport training? Cardio?
- Do you know your BF%? Or do you have a rough indication of your BF%?

These will all determine what calorie range you should be looking at, as well as what the best ratio of fats/protein and carbs would be.

So I can't comment on the quantities - but for rough guidelines:

5 am: 4 eggs, 1 cupt oat meal, 1 banana, 3 fish oil caps

Not too bad - lots of fat with 4 eggs. I would drop the eggs to one or two whole and then make up the difference with egg whites.

The banana is ok (esp at breakfast), but if you are trying to loose weight then a better fruit would be berries.

6 am: MRM Metameal

Is this a meal replacement? Real food is better... MUCH better. These things are typically high in sugars.
Make your own: Oats, PB, whey/cottage cheese

7 am: 8ox tuna, celery, flax oil

Looks ok, although 8 oz of tuna is a crap load - you probably do not need that much. And how much flax?

Also - 9am TILL 4pm you are not eating??!!! But you are eating 3 times in the 2 hrs between 5 and 7?? Not good. Take a shaker to school and add PP, oats and PB. Then shake up and eat if you don't have a lot of time. They can't stop you from drinking. You can also drink these between class and it is not a problem. You can also pre-make bars and take those.

I find it hard to imagine that you get NO breaks between 9am and 4pm!!

4 pm: 8 oz chicken breast, sweet potato, 3 fish oil caps, Geratol
multivitamins, wheat germ, flax oil, BCAAs and No-Xplode

Once again, not sure if you need the full 8oz of meat (that is 60g of protein)... It depends on your BF%... Anyway - how much sweet tato, wheat germs and flax oil?

You might want to take out the fish oils or flax and add them to your last meal instead.

9 pm: Lean 8 oz steak, 1/2 sweet potatoes, 3 fish oil caps

Ok... Another LONG time without food here - you might want to add a meal between 4 and 9. If this is when you workout then a shake (carbs + protien) would fit in nicely.

10: 1 cup of cottage cheese

Fine. I would add some of your flax oil here.
