I completely disagree with your diet plan. You're eating only 25% of the recommended daily caloric intake (which is roughly 2000 calories, more if you are active), so you'll pretty much be what we call anorexic. If you begin eating like this, expect to be anemic, not getting your period, having brittle nails and hair, feeling fatigued all the time, and fainting all over the place.
You may have cut down on calories, but you certainly aren't eating healthy. You definitely HAVE to cut out the junk food (mayo, cheetos, cookies), regardless of how many calories are in it. Plus, you aren't getting any nutrients, especially from these processed food. Eat more vegetables and fruits instead.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Think of you body as a car. If you put some fuel in it, then it will run efficiently. Food is energy, or fuel. You should eat a high-carb, low fat breakfast. I doubt some grapes get you through the day. Grab a bagel, english muffin, orange juice and a piece of fruit. For lunch, the sandwich is fine, but put some lettuce and tomatoes in it, or other veggies, and have a bag of carrot sticks, celery or other chopped veggies too. The salad is acceptable for dinner, but maybe eat it with grilled chicken. Make sure you're getting meat in your diet.
Anyways, fiber bars and protein shakes aren't bad for you, but they aren't diet foods either. They certainly won't do anything for you if you aren't exercising.
I don't think you should keep a food journal unless you do a very poor job of eating in the first place. It already looks like you're overanalyzing this calorie-counting. Which is insane. I eat about 2200 calories a day, but of HEALTHY foods, plus I exercise 4-5 days a week. You can't lose weight just by doing one or the other (eating healthy or exercising); you must do BOTH to achieve results. Any kind of activity you can get is good, but if you don't get your heart rate up and break a sweat, then it won't make any significant changes.

Look, I don't understand why you're being so hostile. The subject of your question is "What do you think?", and you ask for suggestions and tips. You sought an opinion and I gave you one, and I'm obviously looking out for your health here. If you've eaten like this for a month and it's working, then what's your point even coming on this site and asking? Five pounds per week is nothing to be proud of because it isn't healthy, either. Finally, I'm not the obese fourteen-year-old. It's up to you whether you value my opinion or not, but let me inform you that I AM A PERSONAL TRAINER. So you can "put that in your juice box and suck it". Thank you.

You are completely wrong. Im not and will never be anorexic, im 170. I’ve been eating like this for a while and my period has been on time, im not tired at all, I’ve never fainted in my life, im not anemic, and my nails aand hair are just fine. Im not the one obsessing with calories, you are. For lunch if I liked lettuce and tomatoes etc. I would have put it, but I don’t so that was a wasteful sentence. And FINALLY you CAN do one or the other, its not my fault I don’t have time to exercise but to replace it I DO eat healthy. I’ve eaten like this for about a month and without exercising and guess what? I’ve lost 5 pounds per week. So put that in your juice box and suck it.
