The problem with underconsumption of calories is this: The physiological survival adaptations will kick in much sooner and harder than had you done things using *sane* calorie deficits.
I would think when you eat foods that are better for you - such as a salad you are consuming more "bulk" and therefore she probably feels stuffed. If you are eating junk and not eating enough fiber or the healthier stuff, your body will still feel starved - like if you are just filling up on empty calories. So I can understand how she can't eat more - even though she is eating less.
