2 cans of tuna with fat free mayo, mustard and some hot sauce
3 slices of wheat toast
Meal #5
scoop of isopure with juice
Slice of bread with peanut butter
Meal #6
Cup of tea
2 pieces of protein pancake with some peanut butter and honey
Meal #7
Cottage Cheese and a handfull of berries(black or blue usually)
id drop the honey and berries so late in the day-have a healthy fat w/ the cottage cheese-and i would use a diff carb source instead of bread w/ the tuna-maybe brown rice
id get rid of the bread w/ meal 5 too
maybe have the berries w/ breakfast instead of bananna
meal 5 i would prob do 2 scoop isopure
meal 6 id try to have more substanial protein-like some red meat or turkey or chicken
just my .02 cents

Quite honestly, the berries in his case aren't likely to make a difference one way or the other. With a GI of of ~40, GL of ~~2, that ~half cup of nutrition outweighs the ~62 calories.
Doesn't sound like he's given the diet a chance yet. Let's worry about changes if and when things aren't working ;)

but if he eats berries late at night he might get breakouts on his face

I have something better for you
eat 2500 calories, get 300-400 grams of protein a day, eat whatever else you need to meet the 2500 calorie quota
adjust your calories as needed to lose weight, get 3-4 meals a day to satisfy hunger, 7 meals a day leaves you hungry all the time.

Thank you for the advice mate. For meal 6 i'll just have some eggs something akin to meal #1 with less oatmeal, and i'll start having some rice with the tuna.
i'll edit it to reflect what i'll be doing now, is that better?
looks good but i would add a healthy fat to meals 7 and 5-and id drop the juice w/ meal 5
