Macrofactor TDEE is at 2743 average for the week

Keto intermittent fasting style - averaged 2385 calories over the week, 178g protein, 59g carbs, 161g fat.

Month 2 down.
Dang, even more size lost from legs, but I still have a ton of fat on them.

TDEE is stabilizing now around the mid 2700, but I was a bit more active this week.

Tanita BF% sucks. With the age 52 setting I get 21.4% and on age 19 setting 17.3%
After losing so much weight and waist size, I feel the 19 y.o setting is closer to my actual bodyfat levels.
