Make sure your calorie count is no lower than 1200 a day, and add an actual breakfast to your diet. I like to talk about and enforce a healthy lifestyle instead of "diets," but what you suggested isn't BAD, exactly...it's just a little low in calories and missing (nonfat) dairy.
You'd be better off balancing each of your meals instead of creating one balanced meal throughout the day - protein/veggie/carb is a balanced meal. Like you have steak OR pasta up there. You might wanna do a little steak, a little pasta, and a small salad. That way you get your carbs, protein, and veggies. You can snack on whatever healthy thing you want. I'm glad you put snacks in there, that'll help speed up your metabolism as long as you eat at the right intervals.
Rice cakes are not bad for you, but they ARE carbs, which you can't really burn when you're sleeping. So, you need carbs, but probably not right before you go to bed.
Are you active? Do you exercise? If not, you might wanna start, that'll help you in your quest to lose (or maintain) weight. Diet alone will not get you the results you're looking for.
Add some (good) calories to your diet and, as long as you're not lactose intolerant, some fat-free dairy (for another source of protein), and you'll be fine.
Good luck!

it's okay.. as long as it's just temporary. you don't have any dairy in your diet though. make sure you drink milk or eat yogurt or eggs. =) you could try having one of those things for breakfast. it's better to eat breakfast because you burn those calories off during the day.
