I scrolled through and couldn't find a recent(ish) version and I'm curious. I keep changing up my percentages trying to find something comfortable.
Right now I have mine set at 1500 calories, 15% Carbs (56g), 40% Protein (150g), 45% Fat (75g).
I've been going over my fat, mainly thanks to using the entire egg and because I made the mistake of using a metric sh-t ton of sausage in my egg muffins.
Just curious what everyone else is doing
ETA: I'm not keto or Atkins or anything, just found that around 20-40 carbs works best for my body, but I wanted to give myself some wiggle room so I don't feel guilty when I have more.

your numbers sound find to me but I use the keto calculator to tune them. you might try them. I do allow myself more carbs after having tried life at Atkins Induction. it works but nocturnal ketosis is just fine for me and I can squeeze in up to 100 grams or so as long as I do it with quinoa for breakfast before my workout.0

I try to aim for somewhere between 1200 to 1500 calories.
65 - 70% fat... 20 - 25% protein and then carbs to make the remainder.
I aim to keep carbs below 20g per day..(meaning net even lower)0 -
I eat about 1700 calories at 3% carbs/80% fat/15% protein0

70-75% fat (but if it ends up higher than that, that's awesome)
20-25% protein
5% carbs
1400-1500 calories per day0 -
Currently trying 9 days of 5% carbs/25% protein/70% fat and then a day at 50% carb/20% protein/ 30% fat...curious to see how this new idea goes for me.0

I'm currently set at 1500 calories, 15% carbs (56g), 20% protein (75g), and 65% fat (108g).
I generally come in around 1300 calories and net less than 40g carbs.
Some days I get less fat and a little overage on protein, other days a little less protein and a small overage on fat.
I feel fine and while I'm losing slowly, I'm more happy that I'm not gaining.
More important, I feel really good (no longer bloated and sluggish) and these macros are something I feel I can maintain for the long haul.
I've been entertaining the idea of dropping my numbers a bit, but whenever I drop my calorie goal to 1300, I typically take in closer to 1100 and end up feeling hungry or not quite as energetic. So I'll stick to slow and steady instead of a quick win that can't be maintained.0 -
70% fat
20% protein
10% carbs
1300 calories per day and i eat back some/all of the pretty high amount of fitbit adjustment I get. My total calories are around 1400-1700/day, depending on how active I was0
