Could it be the fat intake?

It is most likely that you do not have enough carbs.
Also, your protein could be too high.  This could make you feel tired as well.
 
It could even be the training and new diet.
 
Keep in mind that you are learning about what really works for you on a trial basis!
 
You are doing great.
 
Fat is a fantastic energy substrate and essential for the production of testosterone and other growth hormones, you would notice it on a meal by meal basis if you were fat sensitive (like eating a shoe!)
 

Mayb not after today's buffets =( (my sis's birthday, gotta eat =D)

LOL. Love that!! I hope it was fun!!
Don't worry about 1 day.  Don't even think about it.
 
If you are optimizing your metabolism 6 days a week and have one cheat day, your body jsut burns right through it!

OMG just came back from the buffet dinner. I feel so damn guilty that i ate so mch. something more and i'm gonna explode. I feel like killing mself for eating so much...all my hardwork =(. I ate 2 buffets today!!!! i think i'll do some cardio tomorrow or i'll feel depressed..

One thing I've learned to do, but this is only my opinion ... when I eat bad I try to do so moderately.  For example, lets say I have a buffet style dinner (which I do tomorrow), I try to stick to whats good ... see if they have some brown rice, if not I'll try to get some salad, roast beef, and some sweet potatoes.  If all the food is absolutely horrible, I just try to eat less then I typically would.

Don't worry about being guilty, it was only a day.  Plus, several hours of cardio isn't going to do much for you anyway as Dan has stated over and over.

Try this, just do your normal workout tomorrow, but try to do it in less time then you did previously ... this will make a much more intense workout.

That's just my $.02

Also, you said you write down everything in a journal ... why not put that journal online in a thread to track your progres ... this way others can comment on what your doing and keep you on track.

My Journal

Cardio does very little.
 
Stay positive and see the food enriching your muscle!!!
 
As I said:
Don't worry about 1 day.  Don't even think about it.

If you are optimizing your metabolism 6 days a week and have one cheat day, your body just burns right through it!
 
Just pick up where you left off and stay on track!
 
You are doing fine!!!
 
Just remember not to eat so much next time

Hey Dan are there some days where u just can;t eat much and make it to the required amount of calories? for e.g. today i had little appetite and i ate 5 meals amounting to 1.9k calories which is way too little.

If you ate every 3-4 hours, ate until you were not hungry, and all those meals were supportive...then you did good.
 
(If you did that because you thought it would offset your eating the other day...well, it is flawed thinking. )
 
As for me, when I am in training mode, I eat what I have on my meal plan.  I love the feeling of full energy and high vitality...and accomplishing my goals week to week.

No i didnt do that to make up for yesterday. I just feel that some days i don't meet my calorie intake requirements sometimes by a slight margin or by miles and yet i calculate verything i eat on fitday

The ideal goal is to make a weekly meal plan adn eat by that.  That way you know you get what you need!
 
It is not essential of course to make a plan if you do not have a specific fitness goal in mind, but it is very effective!!!

Btw is it necessary to keep sugar completely out of my diet since fat loss is the goal?

not necessary, but it should be kept to a minimal. 

When fat loss is the goal, it is not optimal to have sugar.
 
If there is sugar then make sure it is with a meal..a lean protein, starchy carb and fibrous carb.
 
You just need to know that the sugar makes it harder to actually lose fat.  So, you want to minimize sugar intake.  Avoiding it is best...however...you should still keep the cheat day open for it.
 
After a while you may not want it.  But keep a day open for it.
