Hey Los, slightly concerned if what you have listed is all that you're drinking! Hopefully you are also having a bottle of water next to you and sipping that all day to get a litre to a litre and a half of water every day too.
My dietary advice was not to think of 'meals' but five/six 'intakes' a day, sounds the same to me
Example of my day:
Yoghurt
Milky drink
Soup
Fruit
Mash & stewed steak & mushy peas & ketchup

I'm only eating half a muller or a third of a tin of soup and the evening meal is side plate portions, not more than 6 or 7 desert spoons.
Liquid intake is mainly from water or water/cordial mix, aiming for 1 1/2 litres a day plus hot drinks.

Little but often is the way to keep energies high and lots if water prevents dehydration which causes headaches, poor skin and aches throughout the body.
