Sounds nice, but double check your protein math. For example, breakfast is 0.5 + 8 + 5 = 13.5, not 18. Even 80g/day of protein is fine, so it doesn’t really matter.
Maybe add more vegetables. 7 cherry tomatoes aren’t enough to meet your vitamin/mineral needs. Variety is best.

I don’t think this is sustainable. I would try to swap out things like multiple apples, peanuts, and butter on toast for things like oatmeal, tofu, beans, etc. And more vegetables (7 cherry tomatoes is not enough). You’re not getting a lot of nutrition.

Have you thought about using one of the apps for tracking? It makes it a lot easier, especially once you use it a bit they keep your common foods so you can easily add them. And get a kitchen scale, so you can weigh everything it makes tracking a lot more exact.
The best way to insure proper nutrition over time is variety, and to eat lots of vegetables and fruit. Fruits and veggies also tend to be low in calories.
One of my favourite snacks/meals is hummus, crackers and veggies. Cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, snap peas, bell peppers, celery, carrots, jicama.

You are going to be so fucking hungry if you try to use this as a meal plan.
You say you tend to binge, so don’t start your day off with what is essentially sugar (The toast and apple). They’d be fine as part of a component (like a breakfast sandwich with some egg) but just toast and an apple, you’re gonna be hungry af and blow through your snacks by lunch by the end of the first week.
Do you have any dietary restrictions aside from wanting to cut carbs?
