Answers:

This looks like a small side salad that you can get in a restaurant. The ingredients looks OK, and even the portions of cheese and peanuts look good.

If you are one of these people that eat 4 to 5 times a day and then in small portions this is still OK, the only question I would have is, What kind of cheese was it? If it was something like Swiss or Parmesan then you are OK. The 'harder cheeses' such as Cheddar are still OK as long as they are in small portions, however they are much healthy for you than the cheese singles you get in a grocery store.

Also, what kind of lettuce was it? Iceberg, Romaine, Green Leaf, Red Leaf, etc... Everything except Iceberg is very good for you as it is loaded with vitamins and minerals without extra calories.

Cheese and nuts you should be OK on, as long as you don't eat them at every meal.
