    Your food diary looks pretty great actually, can't see any issues there. Are you weighing everything you eat accurately (I.e. with a scale, not just going by cup /spoon measurements)?

    Your calorie goal looks pretty low for an active 20 year old guy, what are your stats?

    As you are exercising daily I would suggest usin an online TDEE calculator such as Scooby's or fat2fitradio to estimate your calorie goal.
