109 lbs = 50kg. I would error on the high side. aim for 50-60g
I calculated todays calories at 1136
Are you weighing and measuring or guestimating. No big deal, I mostly guestimate but it is easy to be off.
Meals look pretty good. Snack may be easiest thing to adjust. When you can get by without snacking that will be good. Aim for fattier lower protein snacks. Avocado, olives, a slice of cheese with butter, spoon of coconut oil.
Iāll be honest, Iām mostly guesstimating the portions. Iāll try those snack options! Iāve been on keto since last Tuesday and this is the first day Iāve actually felt true hunger between meals. So Iām hoping that goes away soon, but I thought it may have been because of too much protein. I really appreciate the advice!!!
Are you working out the protein content of the meat and cheese you are eating or with an app?
I was doing it the old school way with an actual calculator in my grubby little palm. 
I would do your best to keep it under 100g for now but that is as far as I would worry until you are fat adapted or at least well into keto. Also, I would use this time to be accurate with your measuring. I know it is a ball ache but if you do it for a little while (and it really doesnāt take that long) you will get a pretty accurate feel for how much a portion is. I would find a container for veg that you then know how much weight a cup full of cabbage is (or whatever). Use your palm or no of slices to get a standard portion size that you know the weight of. Test yourself after a few days and see if your guestimates are accurate or not. After a few weeks, it will all come naturally to you AND you will be getting to a point where you will know if you needs to start adjusting things or not.
You really can simplify things in the early days. I know you probably just want to get it right but your appetite and tastes could change so much in a few weeks, it would have been wasted anyway.
You are doing really well. Donāt give yourself needless headaches. x
Iām new and concerned I wonāt be able to keep my proteins low also, as we are seaside creatures here, so I usually eat a LOT of fresh fish, and out of love of them I also eat a lot of prawns, a lot of eggs, and a lot of meats, even if not in large volumes, more than Iād suggest the āaverage womanā would.
My LBM suggests I should be eating between 50-75g of protein. Iāll be happy if I can keep it under 100g in these early days, as I think itās more realistic until Iām adapted, and am focussing very much on just replacing carbs with fats and increasing my fats in general.
I just added tonightās steak to my macro counter, and after doing so, I have 12g of protein left for the day. Given Iāll snack on cheese, and have cream in my coffee later, itās probably unrealistic to stay under 75g for me just now. Perhaps youāll find a similar happy compromise without jeopardising the carb load/fat ratio youāve built on.
You are probably doing this, but I will ask just in case, because I have seen people make this mistake before. Grams of protein doesnāt equate to grams of food. So, 100 g of beef steak, or 100 grams of salmon, does not equate to 100 g protein. Could this be an issue?
Also, a second tip: Sometimes what you have to do is āfat floodā your food. For example, imagine the gravy boat on your dinner table as shown below full of melted butter (possibly spiced with garlic, or fresh herbs, or just plain salted butter). If you pour the melted butter on a filet of fish or on a seafood medley, you will likely be satiated with a lot less protein.
Ha! Soooo I took a huge hiatus but Iām back and starting overā¦1.5 weeks inā¦still eating too much protein but Iām just letting my body do what it needs to do for the first few weeks and then adjusting.
