The paleo diet doesn't include grains, so those sandwiches you are having for dinner are definitely not paleo.

Unlike the other poster here, I think the paleo diet is great. When it is done properly it is very healthy. I would look at a site like Mark's Daily Apple (Mark's Daily Apple) as a starting point.

The menu you posted has almost no veggies in it, depending on what you put in the salad.

But salad is veggies! OK there is fruit salad but fruit is still a vegetable (strictly speaking).

There is a misconception that we need 'so many' calories to function. We do not. Most people already have all the calories they need stored in/on their bodies. The whole idea of 'dieting' is to use up those calories. One needs to consume fewer calories than the body requires, in order to lose weight. The slimmer you are the fewer calories you need.

heavy exercise always need a good&healthy food

Exactly, with the emphasis being on good&healthy, not quantity.

This is why I say:

If the ONLY thing you care about is losing weight, then stop eating completely until you lose what you want to lose.

If you want to lose weight and be healthy, then REDUCE your caloric intake, SUBSTITUTE nutritionally dense foods for nutritionally bereft foods, and INCREASE your activity level.
