As hard as it seems, you should probably up your fat and lower your carbs. Your fiber looks great!
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!
