well, first of all... you never actually ate breakfast, all that i saw on there was vitamins and such. You need to find foods with some calories in them, otherwise you are gonna eating yourself stuffed and never come close to the calorie goal. just think about how you want to spread them out, if you want all your meals to be even on calories you need to plan ahead for that, each meal should be about 300 ish calories and then your snacks need to be 150 each (if you are having 2 that is)0

Try a good high calorie meal. Maybe some pasta,olive oil, and shredded chicken. A lot of good calories0

looking at your diary , you really need to eat more !
Are you eating enough? (in your case i would say No) Are you eating your exersise calories?

Go to the tools section and figure out your BMI:
Generally someone with a BMI over 32 can do a 1000 calorie a day (2 lbs a week) deficit
With a BMI of 30 to 32 a deficit of 750 calories is generally correct (about 1.5 lbs a week)
With a BMI of 28 to 30 a deficit of 500 calories is about right (about 1 lb a week)
With a BMI of 26 to 28 a deficit of about 300 calories is perfect (about 1/2 lb a week)
and below 26... well this is where we get fuzzy. See now you're no longer talking about being overweight, so while it's still ok to have a small deficit, you really should shift your focus more towards muscle building, and reducing fat. This means it is EXTRA important to eat your exercise calories as your body needs to KNOW it's ok to burn fat stores, and the only way it will know is if you keep giving it the calories it needs to not enter the famine response (starvation mode).
This is just a part of it! please read the link above0
