I just started on my Keto journey. Yesterday I started with lunch and dinner (didn’t really track my macros) and today has been my first (almost) full day of Keto. I downloaded an app called Carb Manager and I when I entered my information and opted that I wanted to try to lose 2 lbs a week it only allowed me 600 or so calories… so then I changed it to 1.5 lbs a week and it said 900 or so calories but it wouldn’t let me move forward without at lease 1000 calories (which I understand) but my suggested macros are 13g carbs 78g fat 63g protein… I weigh 159 trying to lose at lease 10-15lbs before a cruise I am leaving for end of September. Does anyone have any advise for me?? I just feel like I’m not doing it right… I tried to take some guess work out of my meals by getting a Keto meal replacement shake from GNC for mornings when I’m running late… oh I just don’t know what to do… help please!!!
Are my macros to low?

At the very beginning I did not use a tracker. All I did was figure out what under 20 carbs looked like, and didn’t worry about the rest. I dropped about six pounds in water weight the first week or so. I have only started tracking the last month And even now I keep tweaking things to stay on track. You would be surprised, if you just watch the carbs, relax, and enjoy eating you may very well lose that in water weight alone pretty quickly.
