You should be eating 3 cups of vegetables -- maximum 1 cup from the "Other Vegetables" list and the rest from the "Salad Vegetables" list. I only see two cups of mixed salad greens in your menu.
Also, most of your net carbs should come from vegetables. This is not happening at the moment, so you'll have to work on that.
As for the percentages, I wouldn't worry too much. Some days you'll have 75% fat, some days you'll only have 60%. It's impossible to make a perfect 65-5-30 every day. If you are hungry, you can add a protein snack later.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
