Question Please?!?!? Critique my new plan

Okay, I am trying to get back on track here. I am at a new job and do not have much time for working out, but I am going to have to just buckle down and do it. Secondly, I need to re-vamp my diet. Up to this point it has been sausage biscuit for breakfast, a turkey or chicken sandwich (on wheat-no condiments) or wrap for lunch, and something like beef w/broccoli, chicken fajitas, or pork chops with asparagas for dinner. (My husband is on NHE diet so he carb cycles, which explains my carbless dinners). But that's it!!! So, I know I need to eat more, so here's my plan:
Breakfast: 1 egg or 5 pieces turkey bacon and wheat toast
Mid morning snack: 1/4 cup cottage cheese, a pear, and a few raw almonds
Lunch: chicken or turkey in a wheat wrap, a sugar free jello cup, and one head of raw broccoli
Mid-afternoon Snack:2 small pieces of cheddar cheese, an apple, and a few raw almonds
Dinner: Same as before, but adding a serving of brown rice
After Dinner Snack: A small serving of leftovers from that night's dinner with a 1/4 cup or so of brown rice

As for exercise, I am looking at 20-30 minutes of low intensity cardio in the mornings 5 days a week, as well as 3 days of weights in the afternoon, and two days of high intensity cardio in the afternoon.

Please feel free to be brutal. I need as many suggestions as I can get.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Well, your food looks decent (IMHO). I started eating 5-6 meals per day when I started posting (I try to get a carb and a protein) and I have seen great results!

Good luck with your program! Just out of curiosity what are you doing for cardio and training?

Pretty much, in the mornings, I do a short routine of jazz and ballet dance. For more intense cardio, I hit the elyptical trainer or the treadmill, and occasionally catch a step class at the gym.
For weight training, I pretty much split and do an upper body day and then a lower body day, rotateing those.

Maybe you could try upping your weights, and try doing more free weights than machines.

First off Good for you on wanting to make a change for your health, I hope it goes well. If you could post your stats (age,weight,height,goal) that would help alot to better guide you in a personal critique.

It seems like body fat loss is your goal so i will run with it from there.
You are off to a good start, there are just a few small changes you could make that may maxmize your efforts from what I see.

Now i don't know your stats but it seems like that your food intake is a lil low given your activity level. In general most people really don't need to go below 1500 calories when including a workout program, but again thats to be determined after stats.

I am really not a fan of 3 meals, 3 snacks. With the matieral I have read it doesn't boost the metabolism as well as eating 5-6 even amounts a day. Meaning its better to eat 300 X 5 instead of 400 here, 100 there, 500, 200, so on. When I have a snack its literally a snack or usually in my case its a protein smootie early in the day. It in no way is a small meal, its just a additive for my day. I still have 5-6 meals reagardless of that snack.

As far as what you are eating, not so bad. I would not have complex starchy carbs that late though (unless you work out late). Those kinds of carbs provide alot of energy and when not use transfer and get stored. If you know that your activity with your last two meals isn't going to be high, then swap the brown rice for veggies and have that rice early in the day when you need the energy. I personally have no complex or simple carbs in my last two meals. Also you didn't mention water intake. Make sure you are getting at least 8 glasses of water a day, though i try to take in a gallon. Its really very important you get as much water as you can.

Now i am not really understanding your cardio. Are you doing low and high on the same days some days? One cardio session a day is plenty especially if you are doing any High intensity cardio.

Maybe some like this would be more suited *days of which you do it of course are just example*

m-Low Cardio 30 mins
t-Hiit 20 min morning/strength training late afternoon
w-Low cardio 30 mins
t-rest
f-Low Cardio 40 mins
s-Hiit 20 mins morning/strength training late afternoon
s-rest

Hope this helps some, if you have anything specific to ask then feel free, it what we are here for.

Okay, stats... I am 23, 5 ft. tall, and vary between 128-132 lbs. My goal is to be toned and healthy. I don't like to focus on weight, because I looked and was healthiest at around 105-110 lbs., but I have put on much more muscle since then, not to mention went from a A to a C in the chest area, so I have no idea what a good weight is to shoot for.

Another thing...I used http://www.strength-training-woman.com/cpd.html to estimate my daily caloric needs and it says 1728?!?!?!?!? Now, if I cut the 500 to trigger weight loss, that brings me down to 1228. I am not real comfortable with anything less that 1500, so what do you all suggest?

Try this calculator
http://www.nutritiondata.com/calories-burned.html

I changed from eating 1500 cals a day to 1400 for a week. I went back to 1500 today because it's kind of hard to eat 6 times a day on 1500 calories. Plus, everyone of those calculators gives you a different value.

DaisyMae... 500 is the most you should cut caloriesper day. I recommend only cutting 200 or so for you. As you said that would be around 1500. Also, get a kick butt strength routine and cardio program. Some good suggestions above.
