Your portions look pretty good. I would make a couple minor changes.
1) Frozen yogurt is not fantastic. It's basically just flavored sugar. If you are doing it to curb a craving though, cut that in half, and don't eat it every day
2) Veggies are fantastic, but some are better than others. In general, for the most effective way, stick to just the green ones. I LOVE corn, however it's a simpler carb than say... green beans, asparagus, spinach or broccolli
3) Wheat thins. Not too terrible for a snack, but you eat a lot of them through the day. When you have them with tuna, instead substitute them for WHOLE GRAIN bread, or even the multi-grain with flax. Make a sandwich out of it
Also... make a switch to oatmeal in the morning. You can even get the instant stuff, as long as it's not flavored. Too bland? It is for me, so I mix about 10G of protein powder in with my cup of oats after I cook it!
4) lastly... I won't knock the yogurt (because I eat it almost daily), but try Greek Yogurt if you aren't already. It has a considerable amount more protein
Other than that, it's great that you're measuring and weighing. That is a hard thing to do, especially at first. Without knowing how much you weigh, or how lean you are, I caution you to watch your calories. Not eating enough is almost as bad as eating too much
Keep at it for sure though! Your first couple of weeks on a true diet (you say this is your first day) you're going to be tired... a lot. And hungry as your stomach adjusts to a smaller volume of food, and your body adjusts to fewer calories. It will get better though!
