    Ive been trying to follow the atkins diet its says only eat when hungry which makes my calorie intake around 800 - 1000 calories, my carbs are always below 25g im just not sure what my fat and protein should be, i though maybe im eating to much fat hence why im not losing stored fat? i dunno :/ im 5ft 7 and around 215lbs i dont even have a clue what my macros should be?

    Go here https://keto-calculartor.ankerl.com/ and figure out your real macros. This takes into account activity level, age, weight, height and body fat %.

    1000 calories is really low and could be causing the stall. With a 30% deficit based on your weight and height you should be eating at least 1300 calories with no less than 92 grams of protein. Eating 1000 calories is a 46% deficit which is HUGE and not sustainable. You will lose muscle and your mind. ;-)

    I think the person who said your calories may be too low hit the nail on the head. So either that or you are not weighing and measuring your food correctly causing you to underestimate how much your actually eating.
