I would add in 2-3 oz of unsalted almonds... to bring your magnesium level, --mostly from the hummus to the RDA, to 350mg.

Hummus:

Nutrition data is a wonderful site to check the content of foods for nutrients you wish to provide thru food/diet. Make sure you check the serving size mentioned as often it can be either too high or low for a particular person.

Salmon has more omega-3's than tuna. It is available in handy pouches now, by Chicken of the Sea.

I cannot find the ingredients to the Ultimate products...so you need to check the labels for nutrients yourself. (magnesium oxide is not absorbed, so if it has that in it, you cannot rely upon it to provide magnesium to you in the safe RDA amounts.)
Nuts and beans provide magnesium in good quantities.

Otherwise your list looks pretty good.
