My opinion is that you should double everything.
Yeah it's too little. You're body need a MIN of 1200 just to function the organs properly. You may not be hungry, but your body needs the nutrients. If you want to lose weight, you have to eat. I know it's a paradox, but it's true. That's really good that you ate small meals throughout the day. See the bad thing about eating to little calories some days is that it messes with your metabolism. Your metabolism is like a fire that needs food to keep going. That is of course within a calorie parameter. You should figure out what your goal weight is and eat those calories. Make sure it's balanced and full of fiber. You will reach your goal and you will be healthy. Oh and exercise, but you may have to increase your calories on days you do.
That's not enough for a whole day, but it looks like it was yummy!
Maybe have a big dinner? Or two more small meals and a snack? Some fruits and vegetables would probide good nutriants. :)
Yeah your calories are very low. And so is your fat and protein! If you feel full, you should have a handful of nuts or something. It will give you more fat and protein and lots of calories! (in a good way!) And eat some more fruit and veggies! You definitely need at least 1200 calories so make sure you get up to that!

it seems low, but if you aren't hungry no need to force yourself to eat.  Eating small meals throughout the day def keeps you from feeling hungry. 

i'd ditch the ice cream for something else though, try plain yogurt, splenda and fruit.
