To maintain, gain or lose weight…
I explain in my book, The Cantin Ketogenic Diet, that you need to find your basic metabolic rate and eat enough calories to maintain weight. If one needs to gain weight, they need even more calories than the basic metabolic rate depending on their metabolism and physical activity. For those who want to lose weight, they need to eat less calories than the basic metabolic rate calculation. Keep in my that some might have faster metabolism than others. If you need a good nutritionist, you can see the professional support tab on this website. Here is an example of a software to make the calculation for the calories: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm
One more calculator – Remember, the Cantin Ketogenic Diet goes by Total Carbs and not Net Carbs

To keep the muscles healthy…
“I eat daily at lest 1gr of protein per kg of weight in order to keep the muscles healthy. I do not restrict my protein intake but I do not eat dairy.”~ Elaine
