As stated there are no rules about calories or fat ... just suggestions that have worked for people on the forum.

approx daily calories - 10-12X your weight
approx daily percentages - Fat/Protein/Carbs - 65%/30%/5%

These numbers have been effective if you must follow some guideline but unless you have tried induction as stated in the allowed foods I don't think that tweeking should be necessary at first.
