Hmm. Your intake of fats is almost non existent if that is an example of an average day. Have you considered adding some good fats to your diet and letting them do their thing? If we focus on all protein, carbs, and calories it can be easy to forget the essential fats we need to keep our motors running.

As I've mentioned, my food resources here are very limited, I did have a tin of sardines today, from my carefully hoarded stash. But the veggies at the difac are overboiled medley, some raw cabbage and cucumbers sometimes, fruit is plums grapes and kiwis sometimes pears, protein is sometimes turkey wings, sometimes chicken breasts, sometimes trout. Everything else is breaded/deep fried/loaded with salt and fat.

It actually sounds like your body could use MORE calories for the exercise you're doing. You're in the anorexic range for what your body needs. You won't loose weight if your body is in survival mode. I bet if you increase your calories and dietary fat a little the weight will start to come off again. Good luck!
