    Are you talking about protein specifically? I've read that protein should be .6 to 1 g per pound; however, I also came across an article saying that it should be per pound of LEAN body mass. So you'd have to figure out what your lean body mass is minus your body fat %. Personally, I'm just trying to stick to .6-1 g/pound of full body weight as I get into the Keto diet to see how that works. A good source of info is www.ruled.me. I'm using his 28 day plan to kickstart the keto diet, and so far so good. Good luck!

    Try this to get your macros figured. I got it from the keto subreddit.
