Do you want advice on a "vegan diet" as per the subject line or for a "vegetarian diet" as per your example above? Because I'd say the first thing you'd have to change for a vegan diet is to get rid of the cheese on the veggie sandwich, mac & cheese, and the casein, which is a milk protein. Vegans don't eat any animal products....

As for the quality of your meal, I'm not yet qualified to answer, so I'll let the others take over. Very Happy

(Eat the Orange First, then give it 10-15 minutes to digest, to help it digest properly, then have the Cereal. You're having way too many Carbs with Cereal, Fruit, Milk, and yet more Milk. So add things like Egg Whites, or something like that in the meal to boost Protein. Possibly 1/2 scoop of protein powder might be something for you try.)

Meal 2: 11:00

1 slice of whole wheat bread
1 tbs peanut butter (No, more Protein. You could slightly boost Protein and Carbs with some Low Fat Cheese, or add something like some Cashews, (Protein and Carbs), and an additionla Protein source for example)

Meal 3: 2:00 Pre-workout

Protein shake
Apple or a banana (Don't need the Protain Shake. Try some other forms of Protein instead. Also a waste of Carbs. Go for Carbs like Oats or something like that. Slower ones, would be better for high GI Carbs, as they help replenish muscle Glycogen, and they would still be doing this post workout)

Meal 4: 3:00 Post- workout

Protein shake
1 slice whole wheat bread with 1 tbsp peanut butter (Seems fine)

Meal 5: 5:00 or 6:00 P.M

6 inch veggie sandwich w/ wheat bread: latus, tomatoes, cucumber, pickles, halapenos, 2 slice of cheese. (Keep the Cheese Low Fat, if you have it, and possibly explore other options for Protein, like Beans, Soybeans sometimes, Peas, Lentils, Rice, and if you use those, cut back on the Carbs a little, but still have some Veggies if you want)

Or

half of cooked cucmbler with 1 teaspoon olive oil (No, poor choice)

Or

Macronie and cheese Low fat, high protein, 23 grams of carbs, 25 grams protein (seems fine, you could do this sometimes)

Meal 6: 10:00

Cassein protein shake (Fine)

You could keep the Peanut butter, but keep it to small amounts.

The other things are just suggstions, like Low Fat Cheese for Protein, Fats and Carbs. Keep the Bread in. One slice won't cause heavy Bloodsugar elevation, and the Carbs and Vitamin / Minerals content is healthy.

Cashews are quite good for a small protein boost, and are one if not the only Nut source to contain Carbs too, so they can be an option to consider sometimes.

You have some options in meal 5, which could be added to meal 2, as Protein options as well.

Hopefully that clarifies things.

I'd employ this kind of system for Weights and Cardio.

Day 1 Weights

Day 2 Cardio

Day 3 Weights

Day 4 Day off

Day 5 Cardio

Day 6 Weights

Day 7 Day off

This stops you having two days off at the end of the week where you're doing nothing, it will just potentially hinder your results.

You might find doing high intensity total body stuff works best with this kind of thing, and you don't need Cardio for 1hr a week, I'd keep it high impact for 30 minutes a pop.
