Just wondering.. How much fat, carbs and protein do you aim for? I am just starting this diet and looking for some guidelines 

My diet is a low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) diet, but I'm not real hardcore about it. I call it LGLCHF (low-grade LCHF :)). I take more of an IIFYM (if-it-fits-your-macros) approach, just trying to keep my total calories below my estimated calorie burn, and while doing that, go kind of low on carbs and kind of high on fat. The specific numbers I target are: 145-185g protein and 107 +/-10g fat, and carbs until I'm within about 500 kCal of my burn. Those numbers are where I feel my best. I'm trying to build muscle, so I'm targeting 1 gram per pound of body weight, and a minimum of 0.75gm/lb. Honestly, I don't eat the best - food quality could be better, and choices could be much better. However, I don't want to go crazy. I've made subtle shifts over the course of a year that have resulted in a major change in how I approach eating and fitness, as well. Before, when I tried to change too much at once, I would burn out and drop back into my old ways.
