    As a keto dieter I eat around 1300 cals a day(or thats the goal, mostly im between 1100 and 1250). But that's absolutely not based on me being keto. Keto is a method for setting your macros, cico still governs calories.

    You can use this calculator http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ to calculate your ketogenic macros, and then set your deficit(down toward the bottom) according to how much weight you have to lose. I recommend starting with a 15-20% deficit and seeing how you feel.

    Also look up information on keto flu and how to combat it.

    Best of luck.

    Enough to be satisfied and not hungry, typically this will be low enough to lose weight. If not, eat less.
