A bagel and nut butter doesn't really have a lot of protein. Adding few whole eggs to your breakfast would of boosted your protein intake. But then ask yourself this question. Do you feel good, are you healthy, are you recovering from your bike rides, do you have enough strength to perform your daily activities or hobbies or whatever it is you are doing without problems ? If yes then it looks like whatever you're eating is working good for you and there is no need to fix something that's not broken. I wouldn't worry too much about what they recommend, I would just go by how I feel and perform.
This is good advice.

Although the portions do seem small, it is also possible that the default sizes in the app are not accurate.

Yup, everything is working for me now, but my concern, as I am getting older, is muscle mass for the future, not so much for today.
