New and not sure what goals to set
I learned about Carb Manager on Facebook but I am not sure how to choose my goal numbers.
I joined here today and selected 16% total carbs 50g / 22% protein 70g / 62% fat 87g
"Carbs:Protein:Fat ratio in ketoenic is 5:25:70"
I am diabetic type 2 and am doing low carb rather than keto.
Currently 200lbs, I would like to lose 40lbs. I selected a loss rate of 2 lbs/week but would like to lose faster than that safely.
Before joining here today I was low carb for 4 days and lost 6 lbs. I joined so I could learn the proper balance of my food intake. In just these few days I feel better and my knees don't hurt. But I know if I start with the bread, cookies, and candy that I'll go off the rails.
Any suggestions on how I should adjust my carbs, protein and fat selection?
