You won’t loose weight that way.
Your body will go into starvation mode. Calorie intake that low causes your body to panic and ultimately you'll not only re-gain any weight loss as soon as you eat a smidgen more, but up to 20% MORE weight then you had before! (Yep, that's the average).
And that’s if you do return to normal eating. If you don’t, you’ll eventually grow quite sick.
There are people who are starving to death in Africa, who eat only a tad less then what you are describing.
Keep in mind that you didn't become overweight over night, its years of habits that won't resolve magically if you do something amazingly drastic (read: dangerous!).
Did you know that nearly 100% of all diets fail? Even the most popular ones on talk shows and commercials. They all say "results NOT typical"! Or ‘When combined with regular exercise.”
AND IT”S EXERCISEING WHICH YOU REALLY NEED TO DO!
You are young. Dieting will only harm your body. Regular exercise and cutting out the junk food (like cheetoos.) will begin to solve your problem. Even a half hour a day of brisk walking with make a huge difference in your weight. That is ALL you need to do. A half-hour day. Jump rope and do some sit-up while watching TV or listening to music. That is how I fit excising into my busy student schedule. Grab a friend and power-walk around your school before you eat your lunch. That is what will work.
Your daily calorie intake should NEVER fall below 1200 a day. And you need to eat lots of fruits and protein as well! Even some fat is necessary to keep your body for falling into a useless heap of skin and bones.
Rate people 1 all you like, but the plan you suggested here, will KILL you. IF you can stick to it, which you probably can’t because you’re body won’t want to let you KILL it. It will fight back. People will begin to notice.
Forget about dieting. Excise for 30 mins each day and avoid junk food, and you’re problem will likely be solved by Christmas. If it isn’t, speak to a doctor or nutritionist about healthy diet choices for you.
It’s not about dieting. Dieting is useless. It doesn’t work. It’s about lifestyle.
It’s about giving your body what is truly needs, and not a lot of other gunk.
But most importantly: It’s about not murdering yourself.

my opinion is never diet

eat healthy & exercise

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.
