Am I missing something? Where’s the diet?

Show us the food. Looks low on fibre and carbs.
The beauty about eating plant based is that it is unnecessary to micro manage your diet like this….just eat all the good stuff: fruit, veg, beans, greens, nuta and seeds etc …

Um what have you used to tally this up? Seems off is that only 1000 odd calories 🤔 Fibre is really low for plant based aswell seems like the calculations are incorrect myfitness app is a good diary if try inputting the same foods in that or a similar one and double check your results

Your chart is covering the least important criteria.
Try Dr. Gregers Daily Dozen. Avoid added salt, processed sugar, and oils of any sort. Keep the balance and eat enough to maintain or move towards the weight you find ideal. The macros will take care of themselves.
The greatest ldl tweak is the no oil sugar and salt part.

This seems off, it’s only 89g carbs for 2200 calories? That’s definitely not right

If this is first time, just starting, after just having transitioned from low fiber SAD, then it’s coming along nicely! Don’t increase fiber too quickly, gastric distress is not desirable.
As a goal, though, fiber too low, protein too high, calories probably too low. Leave fat there, or less, but only if those fat calories are from whole nuts/seeds/avocado. Not oil.
From the macros, it looks like you’re supplementing protein instead of getting those calories from whole grains/starches. Don’t worry about protein, and don’t restrict calories. Stay low fat, with fats from whole plants only, while avoiding coconut.
You’re likely gonna need more calories. One thing about WFPB is that you won’t absorb all the nutrients you eat, like you would from refined and animal foods, especially in the beginning.
Plate should be about half starches and legumes, a quarter veggies and cruciferous greens, and a quarter fruit. Handful of nuts and/or seeds once or twice a day.

Your macros don’t add up to 2200 so something is off.
Fiber is low.

Something is well off here. The calories part says 2216 yet if you add up the total of carbs, protein and fat you get about 950 calories.
