Yep, but it's not exact science. If your protein intake goes up to 20% it's no biggie. The diet should be self adjusting really, just eat natural food in reasonable quantities and your protein intake will remain fairly low. Even higher protein level might be ok, but it doesn't benefit you, and you risk going out of ketosis, so just err on the side of less if in doubt.
If you're looking to lose weigh, your fat intake will be a bit lower, perhaps around 65-70% of calories. Once you're done, just add more fat to close the deficit which should take you to about 80% for maintenance.
