heh heh, nice. What throws some people off is that ldl is sometimes higher on keto, but it's always going to be when fat is being burned and enters the blood stream. What really matters is that they understand that HDL to triglyceride ratio, and lowered small particle ldl count are VASTLY more important than total or ldl numbers.
On the macros, basically yes. Ideally. Prevailing wisdom is that you don't want to be under a 20% caloric deficit, in order not to lower your basal metabolic rate too much. That said, it will lower some with weight loss anyway, and it can be raised without causing weight gain, by slowly upping intake over a period of time. Also, ketogenic eating AND fasting, both have a positive and beneficial effect on bmr, so that gives you a little more leeway there. As long as a person doesn't return to overeating and eating a poor diet, it's a bit of a moot point. But many people on regular diets do just that, so there's where the concern comes in.
That said, for every 10 pounds you drop, your macro numbers should be re adjusted. You likely have a lower bmr and TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) than when you started, so it's worth revisiting that.
