28 yrs old, 5'8", 159LBS, looking to tone (cut)

How does this look for a diet? It is what I managed to do over the last week & 1/2 after looking over this site among others:

Meal 1: alternating between.... (all with 10oz of OJ)

-4 egg white omlette with veggies & tsp 1% milk + slice whole wheat toast & strawberry jam
-1 cup of Kashi with 1/2 cup of 1% milk
-2 pkg of instant oatmeal (usually a mix of regular and another falvor, never 2 higher calorie ones)
-1 cup of Organic Optimum Power with 1/2 cup of 1% milk

Meal 2: Nature Valley Trail mix bar

Meal 3: alternating between.... (all with water)

-1 can of Chunky Chicken Soup
-75g tuna, 1 tbsp low fat mayo, on whole wheat
-6oz chicken breast, 1 tbsp low fat mayo, on whole wheat
-6oz chicken breast & large veggie salad.

Meal 4: fruit (large apple or large orange)

Meal 5: alternating between.... (all with water)

-salmon fillet with 2 cups of mixed steamed veggies
-flounder fillet with 2 cups of mixed steamed veggies
-6oz chicken breast with 2 cups of mixed steamed veggies
-(every 2 weeks) 6oz lean steak with 2 cups of mixed veggies
-(every 2 weeks) 6oz lean pork with 2 cups of mixed veggies

Meal 6: Protein shake (with 6oz of 1% milk)

I have read the post on milk, but it is one of those things I am not willing to give up just yet.

As for results. In the week & 1/2 i have been doing this I have lost about 5 1/2 LBS and about an inch off my waist.

Quite a lot of "weight" you're losing.

So you're either burning muscle or you're losing excess water. (Hopefully it's #2)
