Sounds good, although I just want to pick up on one aspect of the diet >
"Tryptophan -- a precursor to seratonin -- has a calming effect on the body. This meal plan includes turkey and milk choices, both of which contain tryptophan."
It's a common mistake to think that you can get any noticable effect from tryptophan in turkey and milk.

Whey protein that is high in alpha lactalbulmin contains Tryptophan that will have an effect. There are studies/articles that confirm this.
