Healthy diet or not?!
Question: Lately, I've been having doubts about my eating habits. I wonder if it's healthy, I mostly wonder if it's enough. I have been on this diet for 5 years now, and I'm perfectly healthy according to my doctor.
Anyway I need objective opinions:
Breakfast:
- Raisin Bran with 1/8 cup extra raisins
- 6 oz. of blueberry smoothie
Lunch:
- Veggie burger
- Lentils or beets
- Carrots or snow peas or broccoli
Snack:
- An apple or a pear
Dinner:
- Veggie soup
- Whole wheat bread sandwich with hummus and a veggie
Dessert:
- Ice-cream, mostly pomogranate, mango, pistachio or caramel.
- Blueberries
I drink 2 liters of water a day.
I exercise for one hour every day: 30 minutes of jogging and 30 minutes of cardio and weight training. Why? Because activity releases endorphins that make you happy and energetic.
I am 5'10'', 120 lbs, and 20 years old. I fluctuate between 115 and 125 lbs, but that's because of my height.
Anyway, is this healthy? Give me your opinions!
Thanks!

At 5'10" and 120 lbs, your doctor is right, you are healthy. You may even be on the "skinny" side.
RE: your diet
It looks good. With your exercise you are burning enough calories. The water is a big deal. Stay away from those flavored zero calorie waters. They typically have artificial sweeteners that contain aspartame. This is not good for you at all.
