Hi Rob,
Sounds like a bit of a protein deficiency.
I would suggest that you go back to your old lifestyle right now - then the only changes I'd make is slightly smaller portions and slightly more exercise. I would also suggest that one meal a day isn't doing you any good - you got away with it when you were taking on animal proteins, but bear in mind that your new diet may not be providing enough. In any case the body can only assimilate so much protein at any one sitting, hence my misgivings about having only one meal per day.
It would be worth trying
(a) three meals per day minimum which include animal protein. Doesn't have to be meat, it can be fish, eggs, dairy.
(b) if possible eat earlier rather than late in the day.
(c) a good move if you are able is to do your exercising first thing, before breakfast - your body will already be in 'starvation mode' and rather than taking energy
from your last meal, will get at your fat reserves quicker.
Then again I'm a bit of a fat biffa, so what do I know?
