Is this a good, healthy way to lose weight?

I am 5′10″ and weigh 168 pounds. I have tried diets ranging from slim-fast to atkins. Then I have come to the realization that it’s about lifestyle change since I can’t stick to anything in particular. I need advice….the way I’m currently eating seems to be helping and I have started working out 6 days a week for about 30 minutes a day. One of my co-workers doesn’t seem to think I’m consuming enough calories and acts overly concerned. Here is a sample menu:
Breakfast - 2 lowfat banana nut muffins w/coffee
Snack - Yoplait Light Yogurt
Lunch - Ham, Turkey, or Roasted Chicken on whitewheat bread with miracle whip, lettuce and tomato
Baked Lays Chips
Snack - Small apple or grapes
Dinner: For dinner, I always try to have a variety so that I don’t get bored. If I’m tired, I’ll just heat up a lean cuisine or healthy choice w/added veggies . When I cook, I try to bake vs. fry my food and always add fresh veggies/salad to each meal.
Any opinions on what I may need additionally?

    Hey, here is how it works, simple math

    if you weigh 200lb, you need 2000cal a day to maintain 200
    if you weigh 150 you need 1500 a day to maintain 150

    equation for any weight

    if you weigh 170 (about yours) try 1500 cal a day to get to 150 and so on

    yours is fine to me
    (go with carbs- there good fo you :) )

    It’s always good to take a multi-vitamin while dieting, just to make sure that you don’t miss out on any important nutrients. In fact, taking one in general is often a good idea.

    Are you drinking plenty of water as well?

    Good luck!

    The coffee or try to do is exercise at least times day which you can eat anything fried when on diet so what you.
    The coffee you can eat banana nut muffins no matter how lowfat it is little too so for.
    For dinner plates you have is little too so what try to be black you do instead of dried apricots for snack after that usually does the tredmill.
