I would look at what your lunch is containing. I tend to have some lettuce which is more of a garnish and some protein with avocado, hard boiled egg, sour cream and guacamole. It gives me enough fat to coast through the afternoon. Mornings is where I struggle but I do an early morning workout so I treat myself to some almonds and macadamia nuts.0 -

Often good advice.1 -
I seem to be stuck at my current weight. I know I have more to lose but I think I may need to readjust my diet.1

How long have you been stuck?1

This is a need that I have as well. Finally set down and counted up my calories and over the last year my daily calories had moved from around 3000 to 4000. Drinking 1600 calories of heavy whipping cream in on day got my attention. Better than boiled custard for me but calories still count.

Yeah I started to look at my calories as well. I have been a little more active and going to Juijitsu more so I'm thinking it's not the calories but my macros are off.0 -
I was stuck for a couple of weeks but started moving again. I am not sure if it was the handful of nuts I was eating mid morning, which I stopped or that I started dabbling with fasting.0

It could be the increased activity that stalled the scale. When you start a new activity, or really increase intensity, your muscles experience some inflammation from the workout that you are giving them - more water retention. You may well be losing some fat, or size, but the extra water weight could be masking it on the scale.
Do you have any before pictures to compare to? That sometimes tells a better story. The same goes for tape measurements.
I experienced that a number of years ago. I was pretty newly into lifting and had to stop about 3 months into a new program due to a back injury. Within two weeks of stopping, my weight dropped close to 10lbs, without any change in caloric intake. Muscle recovery/water retention could be playing a role.0 -

I weigh nuts now. A handful is a risky measuring device for such a calorie dense food.

How many you consuming?
Based on ketogains calculator I'm supposed to consume about 1553 calories. I'm close to that maybe 100 off give or take at times. I've used this since the beginning and it's been working. But this is where I thing I need to make some adjustments0 -

That is pretty low, especially for a guy who is active. It would definitely make to hard to maintain your muscle at those levels. I suspect you might be holding onto some water weight. Have you taken a diet break since you started?2
