Go for OWL and add back even more carbs. Many find that not only do they have more energy at 30g, but lose better.

Are you taking suppliments? They can have a drastic effect on energy levels. Make sure to get a good multi vitamin, as well as calcium, magnesium and zinc. While Atkins advises to stay away form iron, check the report in fitday about "Am I meeting my nutricional needs" You may be suprised to find you aren't getting enough iron depending on what your protien sources are. I usually fall low. In that case a multi with iron would help. If you are getting adiquet iron from diet, don't worry about it. I like the Twin Labs daily vitamins, as many others have sugars in them.

It looks like you are getting enough protien to support your lean weight and all that working out. Upping your fat percentage may help you feel more satisfied and lose better, just remember that as you raise carbs, the fat will lower.
