I have been doing this a few days now and using an app to track my % of carbs and fats and proteins. I am around 5/7% carbs but about 2000 calories. I am hitting fat target of 70% and protein around 25%. I got this off a website. Do these amounts sound ok. Any help would be appreciated x

Hi robbie. I think I am struggling a bit to get my head round eating low carb food that has high fat and some ingredients have more sugars such as yoghurt that I never would have let myself eat before. I just need to get used to it. Thanks for replying x
