As hard as it seems, you should probably up your fat and lower your carbs. Your fiber looks great!
Here's my food log. Any help upping fat and lowering carbs?

I'm not an expert at this... but here's my suggestions:
For increasing fats... use olive oil in preparing some foods, use light mayo rather than fat free, use 1 or 2% cottage cheese.
For decreasing carbs: seems like you eat crackers quite a bit - might want to limit them to one meal. Corn and beans are high in carbs, so is fruit. Try eating either corn or beans, not both in a day. ..
Try little changes, look at the analysis and see. If you increase your fat to around 20-25%, and reduce your carbs to around 45-50% you'll be on target.

Your chart looks pretty good, except for the too low fat. However your menu could use some help. I see you are eating a lot of packaged, prepared foods. This is driving up your sodium level. Try substituting some fresh green and yellow vegetables, prepared with just a little olive oil to improve your nutrition.
You're doing a good job of keeping track and watching your analysis. Congratulations!

Looks way better than mine =P
What prepared foods should I cut? ALL? I need some good snack ideas. HELP!! :)
looks like a good food day to me! I would go for fattier cottage cheese for a day like that to up the fat - my husband always buys the 4% stuff. It has more fat, still only 110 cal per 1/2cup serving, and it is really good :-)
But - I know I have random days that have less fat like that - if this is one of those, maybe don't worry about it as much!
