Your weekly carb-up should take care of this problem. Typically, calories are above maintenance and they are composed of mainly carbs. Simple, high GI ones at first, which have the biggest impact on Leptin levels.
I used that calculator as well to figure out protein / fat / carb ratios for both the keto and carb up days.
