I would not rely on a supplement as a 'meal' to be honest. they are expensive, and not the magic ingredient in successful eating.
meals 2 and 4, I would be more inclined to have fresh food if possible, including some carbohydrate- you need your energy for fighting/training, you are not trying to be a bodybuilder.

I think firstly, if you're mates a body builder, you don't wanna be following the same kind of diet as they are made for putting on muscle and not exactly for MMA fighter, secondly diet, training and preparation should be considered as a whole.

If you really want to be eating healthy and be eating the right kinds of foods for your goals you should try and get a nutritionist, althouge i realize that may not be an option. so mabey if you ask the other MAists at the place you train on what there diets are like it could give you some ideas on what you should be eating for your art and your health.
