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.
