No not really. You're eating too little fat, not enough carbs, not enough calories, but protein is fine. You'll find you wont loose weight with those numbers...

If you eat so little calories for more than 3 or 4 days, you will probably slow your metabolism down alot (what's popularly reffered to as "starvation mode.") So don't go more than a couple days of super low calories at a time without a day within your normal caloric range. You will lose weight eating so little, but will mess up your metabolism. Then again, don't eat when your not hungry. Maybe add a little fat to your meal(s) in order to up the cals. a couple hundred if you don't feel so hungry. Flax oil is a great source of fat.

I suggest eating breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack or two. Check out my journal I always post my daily menus =)
