I’ve recently started eating LCHF and this was today’s breakdown.

Carbs 10.7% (31g)

Protein 23.8% (83g)
Fat 65.%

Just over 1800 calories. Is this too much?

10g of net carbs was just with my skim milk for coffee 😳

Is this ok? Critique away please.

Your protein seems a low and fat too high to me. I always used to work of 1lb of protein to 1lb of body weight as as start. But it's hard to work out right yourself, it's very much trial and error. Try this www.iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ for a staring point and join some macro counting groups on FB for good tips.
