That looks pretty good to me, Mobster.

You might end up being a little light on fiber if you did that every day. But in general, that is a very low carb, and high fat. Your proportion between fat and protein is about right for good ketosis, IMO.

You actually could eat a few more calories, in order that your body will avoid starvation reactions. The general rule of thumb among folks here is that you should eat 10 to 12 times your present body weight in calories, each day. That would let you approach 3600 calories per day for your upper limit.

Personally, I tend to look more at what my basal and lifestyle calorie burn are projected by FitDay. Always try to eat more than the basal amount every day, and to stay at or below the sum of the basal and lifestyle total. In your case the basal amount is 2631, and the sum of the two is 4338, so your consumption should be between those two numbers, IMO.

Keep on, keepn' on!
