The app calculates the optimal macros for any diet including keto. You enter your weight, height, goal etc. It calculates the profile. In my case I have 1400 cal a day with 18 g carbs, 88 of proteins and 109 of fat.

That app also has recipes, thousands of food in the database. You can scan food packages bar codes and it tells you the macros.

It's pretty simple. You just fit within that daily allowance and look up food or recipes that works.
Low carb means no bread, milk,pasta, etc.. just load up on proteins and fat.
