Protein Power
.. also of course, emphasizes an adequate protein intake. Your need for protein is determined by calculating your lean body mass (there are tables in the book to help you do this) ... then, you ensure that you get at LEAST the specified amount of protein every day. The bare minimum is 60 grams per day for a small woman, and on up. You must eat an equal amount of protein at each meal .. so for 60 grams a day, you'd have 20 grams per meal. (or more, those are minimums)
They also strongly recommend that you divide your carbs evenly through the day as well, so that you don't have one big 20 carb blow-out. The 30 grams of effective carbs are divided roughly 10 grams per meal, or 7 grams per meal plus snacks.
Protein Power isn't concerned with ketones either, so you don't have to measure or track that.
