Okay, folks, I'm gonna lay this out and hopefully you can tell me what I'm doing right, wrong, and make some suggestions.
I'm 34, 5' 10", and this morning I weighed in at 170.0. I'm an electrical contractor so I'm fairly active at work.
At the beginning of May, I was 180+. I started going to the gym but it's not something I can make on a regular schedule. Sho I got serious about my diet.
For the past few weeks, my daily diet has been this:
Breakfast: small bowl of oats and honey cereal.
Morning snack: bottle of naked juice.
Lunch: 2 servings of smoked ham and Turkey wrapped in a slice of cheese. One serving of raw vegetables, usually broccoli, carrots, or cauliflower.
Afternoon snacks: 2 boiled eggs a couple of hours apart, around 2 and 4 o'clock.
Dinner: lots of grilled chicken, quinoa, brown rice, or some taco salad with small amounts of dressing. Things along those lines.
I've also substantially increased the amount of water I drink. I'm easily going over 100 oz a day.
I've lost 10+ lbs since the beginning of May. I'm down from a 34" waist to 32". What I'm worried about is whether I'm doing more harm than good. Is that enough protein to keep from losing muscle?

If you are trying to go based on the RFL diet the OP posted and took a look at the PDF doc that outlines what you can eat I'll bold the items that are not considered acceptable on this particular diet:
For this RFL diet, it forces you to eat protein at almost every meal, so you wouldn't lose muscle if any. But the way you are going about your own diet and losing weight seems to be working fine.

Lunch: 2 servings of smoked ham and Turkey wrapped in a slice of cheese, needs to be fat free. One serving of raw vegetables, usually broccoli, carrots, or cauliflower.
Afternoon snacks: 2 boiled eggs, needs to be egg whites with no yolk a couple of hours apart, around 2 and 4 o'clock.
Dinner: lots of grilled chicken, quinoa, if this is starchy then no, brown rice, or some taco salad, needs to be extremly lean red meat, 96% or greater with small amounts of dressing, needs to be calorie/fat free. Things along those lines.

-kill the cereal now
-careful with juice.. sugar sugar sugar
Other than that shouod be fine. You could add a protein shake if you are worried about protein
Depends if you are trying to lose weight or gain muscle

As the others said, it's not the RFL diet.
To be able to answer your own questions:
Get an app like My Fitness Pal, a scale, and track your calories/macros. Use this religiously for a week. After that decide if you want to continue tracking or not, but you will learn exactly the breakdowns and where you are making some false assumptions.
With this information it is easy to know how many total calories you are eating and how many grams of protein you are getting. You can tune it from there.
