It's hard to tell you exactly without knowing your goals. Personally I would do:

breakfast - Add some complex carbs into your breakfast (oatmeal) , I also personally try to get my breakfast from whole foods - I am an egg freak.

Lunch - If going for potatoes, why not do sweet potatoes and get some extra fiber? As for the rice, I assume you mean white, a switch to brown rice would be beneficial.

Scratch nutrigrain bars as well as granola bars, these are usually more sugary then actually healthy.
 
ya well i am a frosh in college so i can only eat what is given. Most of the rice is brown also. They do not have sweet potatoes though if or when they do i would get them. My goal is to loose some bf% i train hard and i just want to have a diet that will help me loose bf% while still maintaining my muscle mass. I usually eat the nutragrain just to try and get some more carbs in my body and give me alil energy.

You could benefit from liquid meals. Here's what you do...

Whether or not you're bulking or cutting, the easiest way to get your required nutrition is through liquid meals. You obviously want solid meals in your diet because you need that for healthy digestion, so only think about making a couple of your daily meals liquid.

When I say liquid meals I mean anything you can drink. For instance, it would take me a good 10 minutes to eat a big bowl of oatmeal but it only takes 20 seconds to chug some oatmeal powder mixed with water (or milk or whatever).

Here's an example:
2 cups of milk (low fat or high fat depending on desired calories)
** Or you can use part milk part water for reduced calories.
1/2 cup of oatmeal ground into a powder (use a coffee grinder)
2 scoops protein (preferably a blend, but you can use whey)
1 ripe banana
Optional: For additional calories, you can add PB. Also tastes really good.

You can add or take away whatever, but you get the idea. There are plenty of recipes out there! The shake I mentioned above is good for a first meal if you don't have a big appetite when you wake up. It taste like a dessert (granted it is high in sugars) but it's loaded with nutrition and is very easy to drink.

Note: Oats are a great source of carbohydrate but some people don't like oatmeal. Just get an electronic coffee grinder! I can load 1/2 cup of oats in at one time, grind it for about 10 seconds and it becomes a powder. Then I can mix it in with some milk and some protein powder and I have a easy-to-drink meal. Or if you just want to add some quick carbs to a meal, grind up some oatmeal, mix it with water and chug it down. You can literally chug 27g of quality carbs in about 20 seconds or less!

Another benefit to liquid meals is that they don't sit on your stomach like solid meals do, so in the course of eating so much in a given day, your less likely to have any stomach problems due to large amounts of solid foods.

If you're bulking, you'd be crazy not to take advantage of at least a couple liquid meals in a day. Just make them in a blender, load them in a thermos or any other container and they'll last all day.

Cheers!
 
I second the coffee grinder for oats, I do the exact same thing. Mix it with some whey and you're good to go. Like mentioned, we need to know you're specific goals to critique it. Looks pretty clean to me though, but you'll definitely need to add more carbs to gain mass(assuming that's your goal). This is where the oats will help. It also looks as if you aren't getting many vegies in. Try to get at least a couple servings of greens in.
 
i do get some veggies at dinner but not enough. I will start eating a lot more oats. Would that be good as a pre-workout meal?
