I would love some advice from all you Keto-ers out there. I started Keto 3 days ago and I just want to make sure that I’m doing this right and would appreciate any help. I have some questions and would just like to get any suggestions and advice.
I’ll start off with my stats:
Female, 5’5", 226 lbs, around 45% body fat (based on my average TDEE and a chart i saw from one of these keto weibsites)
Food tracking info: Using myfitnesspal. Calorie allowance is currently set at 1500. I’ve set my macro ratio to 5% (20g) carbs : 20% (94g) protein : 75% (117g) fat
Also, I keep kosher dietary laws, so I have some major restrictions:
I cannot eat dairy and meat together. If I eat dairy, I have to wait 30 mins before eating meat. If I eat meat, I have to wait 6 hours before eating dairy. (so… no cooking meat in butter!)
I also can’t eat any pork or shellfish. (no bacon or pork rinds!)
I also struggle from high cholesterol (low HDL, high LDL, high triglycerides). I was hesitant at first to try Keto because of this, but after reading some articles, I’ve decided to give Keto a shot while monitoring my lipids.
Here’s my food diary from today:

Am I eating too much dairy? Is there such a thing as eating too much fat? Regarding my cholesterol, should I be getting my fat from avocados and olive oil more so than from animal fats?
Thanks so much!!!
