It'll depend on how active you are. Start with a 500 calorie deficit.

I usually maintain with about 2700 and was planning on going with about 2200 calories. I laid out my diet and came up with these macros: 256P (48%) 100F (42%) 52C (10%)

Try eating at 1800 calories for now. Are you doing keto for plain weight loss drop?
