I dont under how to calculate so my husband & I can start our journey to lose about 150 lbs?
Tdee calculator
Can anyone help? We only know about Keto from what we see on YOUTUBE!
You don’t need to know your TDEE on keto. Especially if you have 150lbs to lose you would get most of the way there just making sure you stay under 20g carbs per day, moderate protein (1-1.5g per 1lbs lean body mass) and otherwise fat until satiation. Eat when you’re hungry and stop eating when you’re not hungry.
TDEE calculations are pretty inaccurate anyway.
You can use https://ketodietapp.com/Blog/page/KetoDiet-Buddy to calculate macros. Chronometer.com or My Fitness Pal are good programs for tracking food, exercise, etc.
Keto is keeping your Net Carbs under 20g , Moderate protein, and Fat to satiety.
Its a misconception that Keto is calorie restricted its not, You are switching your body’s fuel source from carbs to fat not cutting calories.

I would start in the newbie section on the main page
If you like youtube I like DR. Berg he explains it in a simple way (for a simple person like me)
Here is a good macro calculator
You can try a Cheap Breathalyzer I think it would work better for your purpose
