Is LCHF ok to do when bf exclusively? Is there any modifications I should make to incorporate more macros?

Yes it is okay to eat LCHF when breastfeeding. Don't go too low on your carbs, I reckon 20-50g per day. If you aren't already taking a vitamin and mineral supplement then it might be a good idea. And if you're breastfeeding through the night then take a snack to bed with you as you might need to eat between dinner and breakfast.
