Something like that. That might be too few calories for her. I don't know. But for instance, if she's eating that and still not losing weight, just cut a few carbs here and there, like instead of .5 cup oats and 1 cup rice, .25 cup oats and .5 cup rice

For an active woman, that is too few calories.
Depending on her size, a woman should be hitting between AT LEAST 1600-2000 calories.
I highly recommend the DietPower program for keeping track of eating habits and exercise combined. It will let your wife know how nutritious her diet is, how effective her exercise is, and how the two combined will help her lose weight. I found that even with a free two-week trial it was most helpful in getting me on track with my eating habits (I have to eat a low-fat diet for health reasons).
