OK, I took a quick look... Your fat % is 58.6% of total calories and protein is about 36% and carbs about 4% (I know, it doesn't quite add up, but that's what is there)... so carbs and protein percentages are ok, but fat needs to be higher, around 65 - 70%.

Looks like breakfast was coffee & cream, chicken & mayo. Lunch was chicken & salad, no dressing. And dinner was ground beef, cheese, olives, broccoli and mayo? How did you cook your chicken? No oil or butter? And why not eat the skin - that's a good source of fat. So, dressing on the salad, skin on the chicken, oil or butter to cook with, maybe another cube of cheese and more olives... all to bump your fat % up. Also, the public view of Fitday doesn't show the fiber grams but just FYI, you can deduct them from total carbs to arrive at net carbs. These are the ones you want to keep around the 20 per day. So you may or may not want to add more veggies to your menu to up them a bit. BTW, what I used to do was put the total fiber grams in the "journal" part of Fitday, so they could be seen by the public.. just a thought.

Your calories may be a wee bit high - they say we should aim for 10 to 12 X our weight, which would mean 1900 to 2280 for you. Upping the fat while decreasing the quantity of protein will mean more satisfaction, so you might find that your total calories decrease naturally... Hope this perspective helps.
