Can you critique my pregnancy diet?

This is my plan for next week. Does this look balanced enough?
Breakfast
Glass of milk
Homemade egg mcmuffin - whole wheat english muffin, slice of swiss, egg, slice of ham or turkey
Snack
Yogurt
Lunch
Lean Cuisine -- it is just so easy!
Veggies with hummus - cauliflower, carrots, broccoli
Snack
Piece of fruit and string cheese
Dinner
Obviously varies, but some type of meat, starch and veggie
Glass of milk
I'm taking prenatal vitamins and drinking loads of water during the day. This is my first time pregnant, so I'm semi-lost.
Thanks!

Re: Can you critique my pregnancy diet?
Seems good in my opinion! You seem to be getting protein at every meal but also make sure you have LOTS of fruit and veggies. Can't have too many of those
It seems a little light on fruit to me. Maybe you could add orange, grapes, berries, or melon with breakfast and/or a fruit and yogurt combo for dessert?
Dr. Sears has some nice ideas on pregnancy eating that you could peruse and see if they appeal to you.
It sounds pretty good! I would probably opt for whole grains for breakfast, like muesli and oatmeal, as well as some fruit, instead of the egg mcmuffin.I add peanut butter to mine for extra protein. So good!
You sound like you are getting plenty of protein, but could probably use some more complex grains and fruits/veggies. Good job on the water. I need to be better about that!
