My 2 cents.

1. I wasn't hungry yesterday, when I pumped the stuff into fitday I came up with 1600 or so calories. I'm 6'5" 210lbs. WAY LOW. Hunger isn't always the best guage. 10lbs in 2 weeks is about 1 1/4lbs a week, an ok #, but it might be high if you're at 13%. So as RH said and agreeing with you, you should probably eat more.

2. You are probably eating more protein than you need. You are close to 1.25% per lb of body weight. My understanding is that if your healthy it's no big deal.

3. Your carb and fat's are pretty much even, their amount is pretty much dictated by how much protein your eating (% wise). Of course simply adding veggies and such will up your carb intake a little.

I agree with RH that it looks decent, and alot better than how I eat somedays. I also think your 4 observations are all pretty accurate and show that you pretty much have a handle on what you need to change to make it better.

Ie more calories, most likely in the form of veggies.

Good luck!
