Yes and no. lol

You selected lower calorie options for lunch, but protocol doesn't allow for more than 4 selections for a meal. Even though you have 314 cal left for the day, you can't, for example, up your protein portion or have an extra fruit from the leftover calories.

What you CAN do is choose higher calorie choices for your second meal.

Lean hamburger is about 150 cal
A large apple is 110 cal.
2 cups raw cabbage is about 34.

By the way, I don't think 1 cup of spinach is enough for a serving. I usually eat at least 2 cups when I choose spinach or lettuce. 3.5 oz raw spinach is 20 calories, which is perfectly acceptable.

ETA
One thing you can do today since you ate so little spinach is to have a small spinach salad in the midafternoon.
