Good Morning. After several month of LCHF and not much weight loss, I have decided to track and see where I am going wrong. Can you help please with what my macros should be set at? I am 55, female, sedentary and currently weigh 202lb. Thanks in advance

I try to hit 5%carb/25%Protein/70%fat
My calorie budget is 1800
Basically, I mainly focus on keeping net carbs at or below 20g. I don't track grams for fat and protein. Over time I have made an effort to increase my fat content by choosing fatties cuts of meat, using butte and bacon fat and whipping cream.0 -
I think that you are going to find that this is different for everyone, and that you may need to experiment a little bit to find out what works best for you.
My calorie goal is set at 1,200 but I just use that as my baseline and do go over most days. My Macros are set at 50/30/20 fat/protein/carb and without much effort I tend to consistently lose. Actually, when I eat every day, I'm not even trying that hard to hit my macros, but the way that I eat, they tend generally to fall right in to those ratios.0 -

There are several calculators out there on the web. This one is nice http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ also one here http://www.ruled.me/keto-calculator/ These can give you a starting point and then adjust over time to how you react to the change in eating. Good luck0

Do you have a digital food scale and do you weigh all your food? If not, I strongly recommend it!0
