Something is just not adding up!

Ok Lets tackle this one issue at a time : 1. Maxing out Carbs - Keto is very different from the standard way of eating. To start focus on increase your fats and eating very little carbs (so no fruits, starches, beans, starchy or sugary veggies). Your carbs should come from leafy greens, like spinach, to start (this will also help with your constipation).
2. Getting your fats -  up without increasing your proteins. On Keto your new best friends will be butter, Coconut oil, MCT oil and Avocado oil. Usually I only have a Bulletproof (BP)coffee (1 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp MCT oil, 1 tbsp Heavy whipping cream and 8-10 oz of coffee blended - i use a bullet). If coffee isn't you thing you can BP your tea, cocoa, smoothies, etc. I usually do have he need to eat again for 4-6 hours.
3. Eating Less Calories - As  I said before Keto is not like other diets which focus on calories. It is likely that the reason you are not losing weigh or fluctuating is because your body is in starvation mode where it is storage all it can to survive.  Keto is about eating the correct thing and not about watching the calories.  Truly the more you eat the more you lose (with in moderation). If you start eating the right this correctly you will not be hungry, some days I go 18 hours before a feel the need to have a snack.
4. Carvings - If you want something I say eat it. There are a ton of recipes out there to satisfy every craving you have in a Keto friendly way. However I have found that dill pickle are the best snack to combat and craving I have. Feel like chocolate, don't have it on hand, have a couple pickles, then I magically satisfied.
5. Constipation - Make sure you are drinking enough water quick rule of thumb for Keto is your body weight divide by 2 is the number of oz you should be drink each day. So if your are 200 lbs means you should be drinking 100 oz of water per day.  Each person is different and you may need more or less but its a good estimate. Because you are drinking so much you need to make sure your replenishing your Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium). Some people drink pickle juice, Keto friend electrolyte drinks and supplements to help (note not all supplements are created equal, so I suggest you do some research on the best ones for you.)
6. Headache  - This is usually caused by dehydration, so drink more water and it should go way. I had the sleep issue too but I used aromatherapy and it seemed to work (but it could have also been my body just adapted to the Keto by then).  

Hope this helps you. Don't worry about the calories a just embrace the  fats :)

I rarely pay for premium versions of apps, but I did for this and I think it was worthwhile. 

I don't recall having difficulty with finding foods in the search with the free version compared to in the paid version, but I do frequently need to ask it to do the extended search to find exactly what I need for my entries, sometimes I need to re-phrase the food description I search to come up with just the right results.  

Getting as close to what I eat as possible helps me keep better track of my macros.  I'm glad to hear you've been avoiding the unnecessary carbs in the flour/wheat/etc. family--that should help.

If the CoQ10 isn't cutting it, Google has a lot of links for help with keto & constipation (though I find glycerin suppositories to be the most "direct" route for the immediate issue):

Make a list of treatments you haven't talked to the dr about yet, call the dr and see what you are allowed to try.

Hendersonlc has a good point about headaches and hydration. Low blood sugar used to trigger migraines for me too--so not eating enough might be a contributing factor.  As soon as I made sure I was well hydrated and eating enough protein (and avoiding sugar which spiked my blood sugar rather than repaired it), my headache frequency and severity diminished. 

As soon as a headache starts to come on--I eat  something non-sugary & drink some water, even if I feel nauseated--because that is what keeps my headaches at bay.

fastblnd8228 Can you take psyllium husk pills? All natural. They shouldn’t interfere unless you maybe have crohns or something ? I’m not positive on that though but I know it’s a nutural product. I took 2 in early afternoon to get my gut to digest them with large amount of water. I put one of these in a glass of water, to see what it did. It’s definatly a “plunger” of fiber. you can also buy powder but I’m not a fan of any powders, texture issue. It really could be your insulin resistant. A good thing to do is get a fasting blood sugar or a blood glucose monitor which are kind of pricy. The doc could do an A1c check also. If it’s quite high then yes the theory of insulin resistant could be very possible and it could simply just take more time for you. Patients is key and to NEVER give up on Keto. I think by June July you will see some positive results. One thing to keep in mind, how are you feeling on Keto compared to prior? Also, you should never be hungry- I can’t remember if I adressed that in my posts. The main focus is carb restriction. 

fastblnd8228  About your #1, I didn't notice a lack of things in that part without premium.    I have premium now and added premium for other reasons, but I think you should be able to find the right things.

That would probably explain why things aren't adding up for you.   

After reading your last post my heart was breaking. I thought " this is someone who needs keto more than anyone." I cannot begin to tell you how much this way of eating has changed my life. It helps with inflammation in the body ( allergic reactions is the easiest to understand). 

You don't need the premium to work this app. You don't get some great benefits like logging everything you eat ( because I always went over what was allowed on free format) and receipes and meal prep so if you are serious you might want to think about getting it.

Not being able to find fried chicken without the coating and oven baked...well it's not really fried chicken then is it? Try just putting in chicken or chick thigh or breast. It gives you many options. Then just list the oil It was cooked in seperately.

On to the #2 issue try mct oil. If you can take mineral oil you should be able to take Mct. Its multi chain triglycerides from coconut oil ( without the taste). 1 Tb in a cup of coffee or tea works wonders for most people. 

As far as fruit...no you can live very healthy without fruit. But you are allowed a limited amount of berries on keto so you can have some fruit! 

I have treated this journey on keto as going back to school. I spend hours each day reading, watching videos and listening to podcasts...then I research the people posting to make sure what they say is legit. My daughter said at one point she thought I was becoming obsessed with all things keto but not only do I have a desire to understand how it works it also keeps me motivated. 

I think that's enough for 1 post. I think this way of eating would help you tremendously and I believe you can do it. 

All the hours stuck laying around ( that I can understand as I've been in a wheelchair for 25 years) use them to do some research and make an eating plan. Dwell on what you can eat not what you can't ( and after a couple successful weeks you can eat chocolate or keto bread and pizza and all the things you might miss).

Understand that the first few days are the hardest, day 3 was pure torture for me) it does get easier...quickly. One day you are starving and going crazy with cravings and suddenly you wake up the next morning. Saying " I'm really not hungry, maybe just coffee this morning". It really does work just like that. 

Hello!

im not sure how to start a new post but my heading would also be “something is not adding up.”

I’ve noticed for 2 days in a row, that I’ve paid attention, my macros do not do the math properly to calculate my calories. For example, yesterday I was over both my protein and fat but it still said I was under my calories. It calculated I was at about 1650 cals so I kept eating given I felt I could and in turns out when I calculated the macros I was actually over 1900 calories! It’s doing it again today but 2 days ago it calculated correctly. Has anyone ever had this issue? I’ve shut down the app and restarted but it definitely does not know how to do math unless I’m missing something. A little annoying that I cannot trust it and daily have to calculate what I’ve eaten myself.

I'm worried about this.
