Hi Geel,
Yes, I found the same thing once the major carbs were out of my diet. Are you recording at Fitday? I was surprised to learn that my daily calories were less than 1000. Not good, because you can put your body into starvation mode and it's much harder to lose weight.
Although we don't necessarily count calories, in general you should be eating 10 to 12 times your current weight.
This is not a hard and fast rule, but the idea is to free your mind of all the low fat, low cal brainwashing. Fitday will tell you exactly how many calories your eating, as well as your fat/protein/carb ratios. (should be about 70%/25%/5%)
If you haven't already, take a look at "Hot Links".

There are several threads there about "eating fat" that you might find interesting.
Good Luck!
