    15% carbs, 25% protein, 60% fat which on my calories shakes out to about 60 grams of carbs, 90 protein and 100 fat. I don't worry about going over the carbs so long as it is for something nutrient dense. I'm only 4 months into this macro split but am finding that if I have a few consecutive days of "low" fat, I'm hungry. I guess for others it might be protein.

    Just copying with @Adi4Fitness added so my comment isn't so random but rather an answer to a question. LOL.

    I'm doing 50-100 g. I've been closer to 50 and suspect that's enough for ketosis for me, but I don't care if I'm in ketosis or not.

    This is pretty much me, too. I ate keto for a while but have been experimenting with different carb levels at maintenance.

    I generally follow the same macro ratio as @kpk54, too.
