A good start.

Looks good, but I would add 1 tbsp of Flaxseed oil 3 times a day.

If you're cutting, do your cardio first thing on an empty stomach, no carbs after 4 and lose the granola bar. Add some good fats, and leafy green veggies and you should be there.

cut the granola bar... the granola probably has too much sugar which aint helping you... might even want to take dairy out of the equation until you get lean... i drink soy milk when i'm dieting, it has no lactose... (i'm not sure if you're making the shake with water or without), flax seed oil or other omega 3 fatty acid would aalso be a good addition as mentioned..

you don't list any portion sizes, but make sure you are getting enough calories... you are in a healing mode and shouldn't try to cut too much right now (your metabolism is also probably slowed down a bit from some inactivity)

I'm not sure how immobolized you are from your injury, but you may also want to try to (lightly) work the muscles you can (i.e. legs) during your recovery... getting back into things will be a little easier... moves that you can do with a broken arm would include leg press, ham curls, donkey raises... i'm sure there's others

good luck
