How do I know if I am under eating, malnourished, or not getting what I need?

Quick stats, I'm 353 lbs and have been doing intermittent fasting for about 3 months now. The past couple weeks I finally hit a rhythm with my calories and am back into keeping track of what I eat and staying under my calorie goal.

My current calorie goal is 2100 per day, but I've been ending closer to 1800 each day. A typical day might be a very large salad, some chicken mixed with rice, tomatoes, peppers, and kale, and then a can of fruit or fresh fruit if I have it. I believe I'm hitting the daily recommended on fruits and veggies, and I'm getting at least some protein. I'm also drinking a lot of water and exercising for an hour almost every day.

My energy has been high, I've been sleeping well, and I generally don't feel very hungry. Example, my window for eating is 2-10pm and today I've only had 300 calories but don't really feel the need to eat, though I know I need to and will.

Is there anything else I should be sure I'm getting in my diet or am I doing okay?
