Needs vary from person to person. But as a general rule, early on in the diet, when you have more body fat to lose, you can afford to have the percentage of protein in the diet be a little bit higher, and let your body make up the deficit from its own body fat. As you get leaner, at least if you want to remain in ketosis during maintenance, you're likely to need to eat a higher percentage of fat to remain in ketosis. Stephen Phinney has a good graphic showing the general idea;

If you don't need those tablespoons of coconut oil to satisfy your appetite, I'd just skip them for now. I found a higher protein diet suited me fine early on, but at this point I do better with a much higher percentage of fat in the diet.
