The thing about working out and exercising is that you need VARIETY. You have to change up your work out a lot to keep your muscles guessing to avoid the plateau effect. Basically, when you have one routine, your body gets so used to it, that you hit a plateau where you no longer have an increasing slope of improvement. Change up your routine every few weeks(ie. do different types of exercises or the same exercise differently).
As for food.. eat all you want(but be selective on the food you eat). Hell, if you go on a diet, you're just going to slow down your metabolism, in which case you will not be able to have larger proportions later on(basically, you'll stay at that diet unless you want to get fat again). The thing about eating is that, when you eat your body has to constantly break down food, which ultimately will speed your metabolism up with the help of proper exercise, of course. So change up your work out, eat all you want, and you're good to go!

Eh, there's nothing wrong with what you're eating. Hell, I'd cry if I ate as little as you(cake on birthdays is okay though).
As for jogging... jogging is only a warm up for things. It doesn't really keep you in shape. You have to sprint to get results because your body has to use more energy while you sprint, than when you jog. Sprinting for a short period of time gives you a lot more results than jogging for a long period. I had the idea in mind, and I read it in a fitness magazine that confirmed it.
You can do bear crawls, frog jumps, etc. Do the exercise for 20 yards, take a little breather, go again about 5 more times. Then top if off with some hardcore sprinting. If you're not sweating, you're not getting any results.
