Hi everyone.....I'm 52 and am starting the keto diet but I am struggling with how many calories to have per day and how to set up my macros. Can anyone help? Currently 156lbs, goal is 135lbs by October 1st.

Hi @dmmadonna! If you're unsure where to start, we would recommend sticking with the default goals MyFitnessPal provides and see how that works for you. We have a lot of knowledgable members here, but ultimately this is a highly personal question that is best posed to a professional such as a doctor or nutritionist.0
