(Keep the Banana to a small one, so you don't have too many Carbs. Plus give it 10-15 minutes to digest to help it digest better, because many other foods can interfere slightly.)
Meal 2: 10:30: Cup of golden almonds and cup of frozen grapes
(That's way too many calories. Almonds are good Fat but very high Fat and a cup is probably at least 500 calories or more, so cut back to about 1/2 a cup, same advice on the Grapes as in the previous meal and add something else in like Ham, Turkey, Chicken etc etc for more Protein.)
Meal 3: 2:00: Large Tuna salad, carrots, cucumber etc.
(Tuna is high Mercury and with the White Fish later on, don't eat it, or you could risk a some point Mercury poisoning not least because some Fish can contain Cadmium as well, another heavy metal and heavy metal poisoning can cause things like nervous system and Brain issues. Add some Meat or Poultry in their instead to compensate for the remove Fish protein. If you want to atone for the loss of some of the Fish Fat, add a small portion of Nuts or seeds in ther instead, to keep things simple.
I would also have this meal earlier if possible so it isn't so close to the next one. If you can have it an hour earlier do that.)
Meal 4: 3:30: Green Apple, plum
(Don't really need Fruit in the PM, but if you must keep the Apple, same advice and add more Protein.)
Meal 5: White fish, peas, tomatoes, potatoes
(Good meal.)
Meal 6: 1 wheatabix with rasians nd milk
(Don't need the Raisins, becasue you'll over Carb a little.)

Scrap the Tuna in favour of other things.
If you're eating something now reccomended as 2-3 times a week, due to heavy metal content, having other Fish sources in the weekly diet, even if they're low Mercury and with or without any Cadmium content, will compound the possible toxicity problems, you might get.
Keep the White Fish, bin the Tuna. The Fish Fat, (EPA and DHA), is obtainable from Omega 3, (Alpha Linolenic Acid), sources, via a conversion in the body. Some wasteage occurs, but you'd get a decent amount of leftover EPA and DHA afterwards, so Omega 3 Eggs, Oils, Seeds, Nuts, Peanuts, Avocado, Flax, Soy products like Soybeans, Nattokinase, Edamame, Tofu and Tempeh, plus Low Fat Cheese as well are all Omega 3 and Monos, so you'll be fine, if you need more Omega Fat, you wouldn' get from the removed Tuna.
Otherwise sub the Tuna for pink fish like Salmon.
