too high? scary numbers! i'm 5'9" (female) weigh 135 now.
i think the numbers put me within the guidelines but thought maybe i should trim it down a bit?
Meal 4 looks too high in fat? I want to get flax in somewhere and the peanut butter is the high point of my day. Is there a better way to arrange?
Meal 5 - I could yank the egg out and just have the tuna and mayo. (?)
Thanks!

What I see is that you are combining fat sources. No PB with flax, either or mayo or yolks, not both! So you sort of knew what wa going on! Also we don't count the protein from veggies and legumes.
Drink lots more water, drop those fats, your totals will calorically be about 225 less, 25 grams less fat!

i've drunk 3 liters water so far today - wow. that part is harder then i thought! i'll get use to it.
here are my changes. does this put me on target?
meal 1 left it alone
meal 2 left it alone
meal 3 drop the yolk
meal 4 drop the pb (darn - i love my pb!) and lower the flax from 1 Tbs to 2 Tsp.
meal 6 drop the egg
that changes totals to 1700 calories
81 grams fat
32 grams carbs
204 grams protein
are those good numbers? should i cut the whipping cream in the shakes from 3 Tbs. down to 2?

Leave your cream alone (boy could I go somewhere with that), up your fkax back to 1 TBLS, and everything looks great, get ready to shed some fat!

sounds good to me. much easier to stick to something when you know you've got it right. thanks for your time.
if one day i MUST have pb could i have 4 oz chicken breast and 1 Tbs pb for a meal?
and i don't doubt you could have all sorts of fun with the cream. i barely stopped myself from telling a most inappropriate celery story.

one more thing - since these calories are actually higher then i had been taking in and my protein is still plenty high is it possible that i could both gain muscle and lose fat? (i'm training plenty hard in the gym and getting good rest etc)
i've heard people say you can gain muscle or get leaner but not both. i'm thinking i can do both? am i wrong to think that?

Yes!
You could also mix one of your shakes w/ just water, skip the cream and lick your p/b off a spoon
You could also mix your tuna w/ flax instead of mayo.

I buy the new foil pk tuna in sunflower oil...is that good enough as a meal alone or should I add some fiber (celery,lettuce,etc).
