Help please!

Weighting in at 220 what percent should I be reaching for as far as fat and protein and calories go. I am still on introduction
I know I only get 20 grams of carbs so that is no problem. But, I need help on the others.

20g carbs

At this stage all you have to worry about is the carbs. Eat as much as you want so you are not hungry, making sure your carbs are strictly 20g.

You need about 2,200 calories a day but YMMV. Take it one day at a time.

Take care.

Generally carbs will comprise 3-5% of total calories, protein 20-25% and fat the rest (70-75%) Don't sweat the details, just aim for the ball park. Try to get in at least 2000 calories, as Fiona mentioned. You will find that you're not hungry after a few days of LC and ketosis kicks in - planning will be essential. Under eating is a more likely cause for stalling when starting out than anything.
