I’ve lost about 80 pounds in the past 8 months. I’m doing great but things have slowed down tremendously and I still have 30 lbs to go. I think I need to recalculate my macros but every calculator gives me very different macros. I’m 43, 5’4 1/2", and current macros are 80 p/20 c/100 fat.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Oh, and I guess I’m 5’5". So strange, I really thought I was 5’4" but just measured to be sure. 
Thanks!
First, I would expect weight loss to slow as you get closer to your goal weight. 10lbs a month is not going to happen forever. Also, how realistic is your goal weight?
Second, at some point you need to ignore the scale and go by measurements, especially waistline.
Now as to macros, 20g carbs sounds great. Are you tracking your foods? And is that net or total? Some people respond better to limiting total carbs or eliminating specific foods like nuts or dairy for a while. The protein sounds a bit high to me, unless you are intentionally building muscle, but if you’re in ketosis then you’re probably good. The fat macro is not a goal. If you’re not hungry, eat less. If you’re tired or cold for no good reason, eat more.
Honestly I would just pick one that is less calories than your last goal and start with that, if you aren’t losing drop 100 cal here and there but you may be at a plateau.
I have been drinking alcohol my entire time and it didn’t get in the way at all. I plateau for 5 weeks and finally my brain starts working and I stop drinking for a while, start dropping weight immediately once again. I was consuming the same calories but something about the drinking my body didn’t like. That to say that calories alone may not be the solution.
In Episode 10 of the podcast, Carl and Richard discuss alcohol metabolism. They say the body “sees” alcohol as a poison so metabolizes it before dietary fat or body fat. Alcohol is stored as fat once metabolized.

Thank you for your replies. I do track and I do net carbs. I agree that it has to slow, but I didn’t think it would be this far from goal. Yes, it is realistic and even by some standards some may think it could be lower.
I will just keep ketoing on. I was thinking that maybe I needed to increase my macros instead of lowering them. I now lift weights.
Thank you again for all your feedback.
I’m 5’4" too, and started with similar macros. I dropped my fat to about 70 g per day and continued to lose nicely without being hungry. Also will increase protein some days to low 90s and still lose nicely. I find i do better with slightly more protein on lifting days too. (I count total carbs, not net, for the record.) I also do a 36 hour fast at least once or twice a week and this really helps me stay on track too. Sometimes I’ll do longer, but maybe once a month at most. Hope this helps.
Thank you! I think I’ll try to incorporate some of those things. I IF every day, but may try an extended.
