    I'm completely baffled by the macro side of things. anyone can help me

    A ketogenic diet has moderate protein. 15-25% is pretty common.

    Carbs will be very low on a ketogenic diet. Most of us start at 5% carbs or under 20g per day. Some find 10% works, or under 50g per day but most start lower in order to get into ketosis faster, and then they might later choose to increase carbs.

    Fats replace the removed carbs. Most have fats around 70-75% but some go to 60% and some go as high as 80%.

    For me, my kcals were set at 1420, although I usually ate around 1500. My carbs were set at 5%, or 18g, fats was 75% or 118g, and protein is 20% or 71g.

    Try using a macro calculator to help you figure it out. http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/

    Good luck.
