I love seeing what I've consumed on a daily basis.

Me too.
I'm on FatSecret.com, and have done it daily since I started in April. I enjoy having the documented record to look back on. It's replaced the filling out of the journal which I did the period of time I was with IP and had a coach. Your figures are quite close to what my averages are too. My daily protein is around half of my weight, which I read somewhere is a proper range. I weight 175 at present, so I stay around 90g protein for the day. I saw in the IP coaching videos that we're to stay within a range of 25-40 net carbs/day, so I make sure I don't go over the 40 - and I keep below 30g fat/day as much as possible. My weakness is that I like coconut oil, and know I tend to use a bit more at times than is strictly correct for this diet. I really watch to keep the sugar low - it's rarely over 20g/day.
My weight loss has been slow, so I think I should probably try to cut back a bit more on carbs and fat - but I feel good, and I don't feel deprived or stressed this way, and that keeps me feeling motivated. At my current rate of loss I'll reach my goal by Christmas and that suits me fine.
