From this log 2016-12-18 18-05-08.txt:

18:07:08.816: Output 'simple_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 28 (22.2%)

This was made with Ultrafast encoding profile
Your CPU can´t handle encoding

Reduce to 30 FPS.
If no lag, yo can try Superfast to get better image.



By the way, you are on a MAC
18:05:10.111: OBS 0.16.2 (mac)

This is WINDOWS support section.

I don´t know how to encode with your MAC GPU, if possible.
This could be the solution.

Ultrafast uses the least CPU.
Going down (superfast, veryfast, faster, fast....) increases CPU usage


So, try 1080p 30 FPS

But I think you have to go to 720p 30FPS to have little/ no lag
