Diet Plan, Need Feedback Please!

(Ye boi) #1

Hi, I’m starting keto very soon and just made a plan on what to eat everyday. Please keep in mind I’m not doing keto to lose weight, as I don’t need to lose any :slight_smile:,I’m doing keto for the many other health benefits. I also don’t mind eating the same things almost every day, in fact, I’d rather do that than mix and match as I know what macros and micronutrients I’m getting. Anyway, here is my list of food and the macros.

Breakfast:

  • Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussel Sprouts, Onions, Spinach, Carrots, Avocado, Blueberries, Raspberries, Other Mixed Berries, Kale, Butter, Coconut Oil, Wheatgrass Powder.

Lunch:

  • Pumpkin Seeds, Brazil Nuts, Walnuts, Pecans, Cheddar Cheese

Dinner:

  • Either Salmon/Beef/Chicken, Boiled Eggs, Olive Oil, Avocado Oil, Yeast Flakes (for extra b vitamins)

I’ll also be adding Turmeric, Black Pepper and Sea/Pink Salt to everything and a clove or two of Garlic throughout the day. Below are the macros added from a whole day.

  • Calories: 2291
  • Fat: 180g (74.59g Saturated)
  • Protein: 115g
  • Fibre: 35g
  • Carbs: 39g (24g Sugar)
  • Salt (without added salt): 3.34g

I’m not sure if the carbs are a bit too high,but I read that under 40g is fine, and I also didn’t retract the fibre from the carbs so I don’t know if that changes things. Anyway, any feedback is appreciated :slight_smile:

Under 40g carbs may be too high or may not be. I would recommend that you start lower and then move up on carbs or you may not ever get into ketosis and just feel like garbage otherwise.

I’d cut out the carrots, limit the onions, and eliminate the berries. I don’t put things into breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I just eat things anytime that work. The protein is potentially high there, too.

Thanks for replying, I plan to start working out to try and gain more muscle so that’s why I have the protein that high. I think you’re right too, I might cut out the carrots and berries just until I know I’m in keto then gradually at them back and see what happens. Is there any way to know I’m in ketosis other than using a strip? Finally, I don’t categorize meals into breakfast, lunch and dinner either, it was just easier to type it up by doing it that way. I plan to do intermittent fasting, I heard it boosts how fast you get into ketosis, is this true?
