sounds like you're not eating much, a womans body goes into starvation mode at 1200 calories and fewer. This means you'll store fat and burn your lean muscle mass. You should probably be eating at LEAST 1600 calories a day, and your menu doesn't sound like you are coming close.

Also, you should have breakfast other than coffee to boost your metabolism (i know imma hypocrite, i skip it a lot, but i do know the importance).

I don't know what glucides is so i can't comment on that.

Your dinner looks sparse. Now that I look at it again, you're not eating NEARLY enough at all!

In order for your body to burn optimum fat, it needs to know that you're getting plenty of food and that it doesn't need to store it. having 1 cup of salad for dinner is not adequate nutrition. hope that helps and that i don't sound too negative.
