Try this: https://cronometer.com/ It's much like MyFitnessPal but has a section for keto diets. I've not used it for awhile so you'll have to dig around to find that link.
Too much protein is not good because it converts to sugar/fat, something like that.
Eating out keto is easy. Just ditch the carbs and stick to fats and meats. Many dishes you can skip the rice/carbs and just eat the meat/fish with fats and veggies on side. When I used to do keto Chipotle was my favorite.
If you do high-protein/low-carb/moderate-fat diet, a significant amount of the protein you consume will be converted to glucose and used to fuel the body/brain, as opposed to repairing and building the body.
When you do a high-fat/low-carb/adequate-protein diet, and you are in ketosis.....most of your bodily energy-requirements are met with ketones. Thusly, your body has a lot less need to convert protein into glucose.

So for me . 6'3 235 pounds . Looking to get down around 215-220 but keep my muscle what should my protein be at each day ?
I do lift 3-5 days a week and have a construction job 5 days a week on my feet all day
So what could be my magic protein number to be in keto but no lose muscle ?

Well, it is kinda tricky......you might be better off just doing regular low-carb.
With a diet that is just regular low-carb, I have read that a good guideline for protein is
a gram of protein for each pound of lean body mass. So, for example, if you weigh 200 pounds and you are 15% bodyfat.............your protein should be figured-out by the following formula:
(total bodyweight) - (total pounds of bodyfat) = grams of protein
200 - 30 (.15 * 200) = 170 grams of protein per day
Go to the drug store and buy some ketosticks. Cut them in half lengthwise because they are expensive. Test your urine and the idea is to stay in the purple/pinkish zone.
Your urine will smell like paint stripper/thinner due to the higher level of ketones in it. It's very distinctive, and a simple method of knowing if you are in Ketosis without using a stick to check.
