(Keep the eggs in because the protein will maintain muscle and help keep you full, then either go with the cereal or toast options.)
Lunch: ham and turkey or just ham or turkey, a salad with chicken or turkey or dinner left overs.
(If you choose not to use the salad option then substitute it for some kind of veggie(s), or some fruit(s), or maybe have some higher carb nuts, like groundnuts, chestnuts and cashews for example.)
Snacks: granola oatmeal raisin, peach or plum or banna or Apple.
(That's fine if you're having the granola and some fruit, but you may want to consider adding some protein in there, like low fat cheese, peanuts, packet chicken, turkey or beef etc, but in the case of the first two, they have carbs so be mindful because you'll already get carbs from the granola and fruit, so you might want to reduce the fruit portion in that case, by around 25%-50%)
Pre and post workout meals: eggs or smoothie with no sugar and whey protein or peanut butter.
(I'd say go for the eggs and smoothie pre and the whey protein post.)
Dinner: meat or pork or turkey or chicken with a salad or veggies. Mixed vegies or broccoli.
(That's fine.)

Wow, this is nice. Thanks for this.
Re: a good diet?
These are wonderful meal plans. I am not really fond of planning meals, but I do stick to lots of fruits and foods with less calorie.

Re: a good diet?
Heey, to lose fat you should eat a lot of protein which helps you gain muscle, eat more times a day to boost your metabolism, and learn what to eat, how much and when. I am following the yes you can diet plan and they tell me what to eat how much and when so it is very easy to follow. They give you lists of the foods you can eat anytime, the ones you should be careful with and the ones you have to avoid.
