    Just tell people how many calories a day you need to maintain, and how man you ate.

    What you eat doesnt quite matter.

    What is your goal? How tall are you, what do you weigh, and do you know your BF%? Do you know your TDEE? How many calories are you netting per day? What are your workouts and how many calories do you burn? Do you have any known medical issues?

    Need more info...

    What is your current height/weight/age and how many pounds per week did you set up MFP as your goal to lose?
    What is your MFP recommended calorie goal per day?
    How many calories are you eating, and for the food list you entered: how do you log portions? Estimating, weighing, something else?

    How long have you been at it?

    ^^^ This - How much of that food listed are you eating, I mean what are your portion sizes?

    You didn't tell us what your problem is.

    You still didn't say what the problem is, and we still don't know what your portion sizes are. Open your diary because a week of vague information in your OP just won't cut it.

    How much you eat is more important than what you eat.

    You need to figure out your BMR and TDEE and then take off 10% (for 1 pound per week) for calorie deficit. Can't figure out your TDEE if we don't know how much you exercise.

    Choices of foo don't really matter, as long as you get your minimum protein, minimum fat intake and eat at a deficit. That said, do you weigh all of your solid foods and measure the liquids? If not you are probably eating 10-50% more than you think you are.

    You may be burning less cals than you think too, most calculators tend to over estimate caloric burn.

    10% off of her TDEE would be slightly less than 0.5 lbs/week (210 cals/day), typically 20% off of TDEE is 1lb/week but will vary depending on your TDEE

    Is your goal to lose weight?????? Still haven't answered that question. If it is--

    Eat a reasonable calorie deficit.

    Eat significant protein and lift for muscle retention.

    That's it. Don't worry about the actual foods you eat.

    Your food choices look decent, but it's hard to tell without seeing your diary and knowing quantities. The amounts you're eating matter - for example, you have a lot of foods that contain protein listed, but if you're only eating 3oz of chicken and not hitting your protein goal, that's not good. How you get to your calorie, protein, fat, carb, and micronutrient goals is a lot less important than meeting those goals.

    You said you eat 1400 calories a day when your TDEE is nearly 2200. You should be eating closer to 1750 with a high level of protein to prevent muscle loss. You said you're doing circuit training - I assume it's a resistance circuit, which is also important for muscle retention.
