These are the same foods you were eating a month ago (post 28) which is perfectly fine for a regular Atkins plan, but if you haven’t been losing weight eating these foods and fats in this amount for almost two months now, is Atkins right for you at this time?? Are you still at 226? And goal still 215? Then you have found a good maintenance diet, but should consider changes if you want to lose weight. Going VLC to start works well as we get off the Fat + Carb junk food, but stalls and regains happen often as we get closer to goal.

If you want to try a higher protein, lower fat, higher fiber diet (with daily exercise, resistance and cardio) I have already made suggestions in this thread and referred you Dr Naiman's simple plan.
At 6’2”, you would aim for 180g of protein. And 90g of mostly high fiber and high nutrient carbs. If you don’t mind tracking macros for a while to understand how much that is, use a good tracker like Cronometer.

14 oz of tilapia is 104g of Protein (not 40?) 5 eggs in 2T butter is only 32 g protein with 50g fat. So 14oz of tilapia is a great dinner, high in protein, but with PE you also aim for high protein every meal and snack, reduce fats, and add more fiber for satiety. Most beneficial, the First meal of day should focus on Protein. The two or three meals as you are currently eating is usually suggested, compressing into an 8 hour eating window may help, but Dr Naiman focuses more on What you Eat than When, more on exercise than diet.
