Mike, your commitment is fantastic. You are really an inspiration.
Look, your current diet is ruining you. Your metabolism is shot to hell. I would be suprised if your leptin levels could even be measured. You need to get on a cyclical diet. What you are basiclly doing is a PSMF every day, chronically. These diets are typically effective for only a few weeks at most before they bottom out due to metabolic depression. From your picks you look like you are getting smaller but not neccessarily that much leaner. It is a shame because you are working so hard. Your diet needs to be much smarter. There is no way you are going to come in ripped with this diet and you are sacrificing muscle to fat at a ratio that's got to be greater than 50:50 right now from the looks of things. You seem like a really good guy but don't let your loyalty harm your progress. I think it was mindspin who posted a sample diet with some higher and lower carb days that looked a little better. I would reccommend you do 5 low carb low cal days like you are doing now everyday and then for 2 days *in a row* do a higher carb day with very very low fat (just fish oils if possible) and bare maintenace protein (for you probably around 200grams max). The rest should be from starchy, high glucose carbs (try 300 grams to start; may need a bit more) with only a little bit of fructose. The higher carb days in succession will bump your leptin and get lipolysis moving again. I promise you, you will not gain fat from this, especially with your strict diet days that will follow. Look, this is just a sample but your diet currently is killing you. You deserve better. Good luck.
