Yes, it's horrible, as a matter of fact. Not only do you not eat enough, but you don't eat anything nutritious. Also, the bagels and Southbeach bar are most likely not vegan, so, if that is your concern, just ditch it, and start eating for health and athletic performance.
Add soy milk or skim milk, fortified cereals, steamed edamame (soy beans), REAL juice (100% juice, not "juice drink" or anything else that says fructose or sugar in the ingredients), peanut butter sandwiches, steamed and fresh veggies, soy yogurt, bean chili, baked potatoes, etc. Also, read the label on the gatorade and red bull - it is all sugar (or fake stuff if you drink Sugar Free Red Bull), that is, really $#!++y stuff you're putting in your body.
You will notice that if you start eating every 2.5-3 hours (only has to be like 200-300 calories each) , even though you are not hungry and it is something small, your athletic performance will increase dramatically, and you will feel like you have more energy and need less refined sugar.
