Default How Accurate are the CKD Parameters Calculations? BFL?'s too!

I imputted my info in the CKD site and it says this:

Body Fat % 24.7

Daily Protein Intake: .9 grams Protein/lb
Daily Carb Intake: 20 grams

Minimum Daily Caloric Level: 12 cal/lb

131 grams of protein a day
126 grams of fat a day
20 carbs a day
Protein 30%
Fat 65%
Carbs 4%
Calories 1740


According to FitDay, for the last week I have been at:

Calories: 1652
Fat: 126 69%
Protein: 110 27%
Carbs: 19 4%


According to CKD it looks like I need less fat and a little more protein? I thought for Induction we should be at 70/25/5 for Fat/Protein/Carbs?

I will be starting BFL next week and I'm concerned about changing my numbers for that too! I haven't lost anything in the last two weeks and am frustrated. I don't consume hidden carbs, I drink a lot of water so I don't know what's going on. This is my second induction and I have heard that it's harder the second time around. I have read a lot of my Body for Life book and the food part is confusing because the plan is considered low fat and carb food.

I need help and support I'm afraid I will give up and say the heck with everything! My boyfriend and I broke up and now I even dread going to my gym because he goes there the same time I do!
