I'm going to add some suggestions in bold in your quoted post below. I think you should focus on both things you asked about in your post, the macros and clean eating, IMO, with one, comes another.

is there a less processed cereal you could add? Fiberone is good, yes, but why not look into some homemade granola. If you did that, you could add nuts and seeds for healthy fats and proteins, and watch the overall sugar content. That doesn't look like enough breakfast, at least it wouldn't be for me! I would add some turkey bacon or sausage if that were me, just for added protein and calories

workout do you drink a pwo like the book recommends?

1 scoop whey protein
yogurt why not change it up a little bit? have some cheese and an apple, or make a dip out of greek yogurt and some dill and have that with carrots and celery? I know you said you don't like a lot of veggies, is it because of texture? flavor? try them in different ways!

1/2 c cottage cheese
carrots

Salad: 5 oz turkey, lettuce, Fat free ceasar dressing try full-fat dressing. What else is in your salad. Have you considered trying adding sliced roasted tomatoes? baby romaine?
1/2 c cottage cheese what about eating some almonds here? or try taking some lunch meat and rolling it around cream cheese?
Apple

1/2 egg beaters now, I can't eat whole real eggs, but i honestly think egg beaters aren't the greatest choice. you can beat up some real eggs and egg whites a la cassandra in the book and make soemthing tasty, I'm sure. As for the fat-free cheese, why not try some full fat or 2% cheddar, mozzarella, gouda, havarti, brie? I could go on, I LOVE cheese!
1 slice fat free cheese
2 fat free hot dogs (I know,that's kind of weird but I like them instead of fat-free hotdogs, try turkey, salmon, chicken breast, beef, tuna, etc. You can prepare the meat of your choice to your liking and eat it with some tasty side dishes
1/2 cottage cheese would there be anything you could eat in place of cottage cheese here? I like eating roasted tomatoes with mozzarella, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar as a side with chicken. it's heavenly!
orange
those are my two cents. I'm sure others will have something to offer as well.
