Gem,

we probably learned from different sources, and although we agree on many aspects, we differ in some too.

A quick search yielded this link: https://articles.mercola.com/ketogenic-diet.aspx
The ideal protein intake should be one-half gram per pound (or 1 gram per kilogram) of lean body mass per day. This will help you maintain enough muscle mass without triggering your mTOR. Excess protein can stimulate this pathway, which may increase your risk of cancer.
also:
reducing carbohydrate consumption can reduce hunger symptoms. In one study, participants who were given a low-carbohydrate diet had reduced appetites, helping them lose weight easier.
&:
Ideally, your keto carb limit should be kept to under 50 grams a day, or 4 to 10 percent of your daily calories. This will help you transition to burning fat for fuel.
The following amounts can be effective for most people:
  • 70 percent healthy fats
  • 25 percent high-quality protein
  • 5 percent carbohydrates
