I think yours looks great...particularly in the mushie phase.
Make sure you're getting in your fluids...the non wine type...(just my little comment) 

Another courageous type.....baby food--meat 

Keep at it. Good luck.

I admit - on day 1 of semi-solids, baby food was delcious.

Now.... ugh.  No more, thanks.

Your numbers look spot on......

Your lunch looks like way to much in volume......I would think one or the other...not both????

edit: Same with your dinner....looks like a little to much "volume".

Are you hurting after eating? How long do you take to eat?

Ah ha.. I fudged a bit by putting them back to back in my posting.

For lunch, I eat the cottage cheese first, which doesn't offer a lot of restriction being so watery, and wait about half an hour, and then I eat the tuna over a period of 15-20 minutes, which really does fill me up.  I moisten it with broth, and eat it slowly and chewchewchew.

Simlilar with dinner, I have the liquidy baby-food first, and then the egg which is fairly liquidy as well.  I try to space 15 minutes between those two.

I haven't had bad pain/restriction with that meal plan.  I actually had my first actual pain experience this morning.  I had a poached egg, was an idiot and didn't wait, and started eating a MorningStar vegan breakfast sausage patty (one of those small, tofu pucks, that if you squint and imagine, is slightly reminescent of a sausage patty if trapped on a desert island).  I was cleaning while eating, not paying attention, ate too fast between bites, didn't chew them enough.  The experience was _very_ unsettling... I assume one piece was sitting at the top of my esophagus or the like.  Ugh.  I had never felt that stimulus before in my life.  Let's say, it was a good learning lesson.

Addenum: 

The main reason I'm having both is trying to keep my protein up near 90-100 g, which is what Alicia said I should target as an exercising male.

I've ordered some unflavored protein powder so I can add it to things like the cottage cheese for a boost, but it hasn't arrived yet.
