Food choices look good.

The protein to carb ratio is a little too high...and it seems like the cals are a bit high too. If I were you I'd ditch the last shake...get rid of some protein as well as some cals.

Looks like you're going to be strict with your diet, that's great! So on that note here are my suggestions:

1.) Have flax in one other meal (meal 1 would be good).

2.) Ditch the tuna in your last meal, replace it with cottage cheese. It's a better protein source to have before you sleep (a slow-digesting casein protein is ideal).

3.) I would recommend taking a multi-vitamin

4.) More fibrous veggies.

Otherwise, diet-wise it looks great. As long as you're smart with your training you should see fantastic results.

On second thought, you might want to add a little bit more carbs (15g or so) to your PWO shake.
