So I went to the doc yesterday for a physical.
White blood count is low. Could be a combination of stress from the workouts and lack of calories and recovery. Liver enzymes were high, but that is somewhat normal for me (Gilbert's syndrome). Blood urea nitrogen was also high, a result of such a high protein diet. I'm clearly not drinking enough water, even though I drink about a gallon per day. The increased caffeine from the coffee could be offsetting some of the water intake (because of the diuretic properties of caffeine). I go back in two weeks to re-evaluate.
