For the amount of carbs and cals there are much better choices.I would can them and add some foods like oatmeal, brown rice or even whole grain bread. Remember though even with whole grain breads the ingredient list is very important, many have added sugars, high fructose corn syrup etc. As already mentioned corn is not the best choice. Green fiberous vegetables are much better. Try to stay away from simple, starchy carbs with the exception of possibly post workout. I would add more protein as well, what's with 1-3 eggs, you've got to eat.

Yep... all of this!
For bread, I use "oroweat". it's a little more expensive, but very little sugar, and no HFCS. I also don't eat it every day. And most surprising... where is your protein shake?
Whey protein has a very important purpose, especially right after a workout. Whey gets shuttled to your muscles very quickly. Protein and fiber both help keep you feeling full, and you should take advantage.
The last thing, it's good to see you're keeping track of your water intake, but you're not drinking enough. Just drink it consistently through the day (get a camelbak bottle or something). You should aim to be peeing about once an hour, and pee should be very very light yellow or almost clear. I drink about a gallon and a half of water a day!
