[quote]Breakfast: black coffee and 1 hardboiled egg = 158 cal / 13g protein

Snack: 2 apples and 3tbs peanut butter = 444 cal / 12 g protein

Lunch: 1 whole wheat + flax pita, with 1/2 cup hummus, 1/2 avocado and 1 cup spinach = 570 cal / 20g protien

Dinner: Lentil veggie stew (lentils, spices, carrots, potatoes, etc) = ~300 cal / 15g protein

Dessert: homemade chocolate chip banana bread = ~300 cal / 5g protein [/quote]

[b]Daily total = 1775 calories / 65 g protein [/b]

I am NOT an expert but if you are asking for random people on the internet to weigh in then [b]I will agree with others that your protein is low, and a pattern of this could lead to muscle [i]loss[/i] over time.[/b] I should note that your fiber intake was great!... but you were lacking in a lot of vitamins FWIW (Iron, Calcium, Vit C, folate, and potassium were all at around 60-70% of daily targets).[/quote]

This is nonsense. How do you know that OP's protein intake is low? You don't even know their weight, let alone their exercise habits. RDA is .36 grams per pound of body weight. For most people, 65g of protein is going to be good. If you are a 200lb professional athlete, maybe not, but for the rest of us that is plenty of protein and certainly won't lead to "muscle loss."
