Hi Eddie,

First up, have you measured yourself? It's highly possible that you have lost a few pounds of fat while gaining muscle. Low carbers often do that, simply because we start to get enough protein after eating too little before.

On the whole, your food looks pretty good. The only suggestion I'd make would be to eat a little more, not less. (Sounds odd I know )
For example, go from 2 eggs to 3, not 1.

I think your calorie intake needs to be around 2500 cals if not more. You need about that just to maintain your basal metabolic needs, and as you are working out regularly, you can probably eat even more.

Eddie, I can't promise that this will have the desired effect, but I can tell you I have seen many folk here lose more when they increase their calories (and carbs).

All the best, mate.
