Years ago I got that wrong info about protein myself… Fortunately I can’t help eating much protein… Protein can be converted into glucose but it’s on demand, it won’t happen just because we eat much of it.
Keto is very low-carb diet, that’s it. I don’t consider very unnecessarily high protein good at all but I can’t see somewhat high-protein a problem if it feels right and we notice nothing bad. Maybe wasteful but sometimes it’s kind of impossible to avoid (or possible but that approach gives worse results). A super fatty diet may be uncomfortable and hard to pull off ven for someone who is used to way more fat than what they can afford on keto. Skipping carbs changes things and not everyone of us can just add pure fat without difficulties. And these things are important if we want to stick to our new woe. It shouldn’t be too hard, at least for some of us… There are things worth some difficulties but useless sacrifice, I hate them. And I never noticed much protein would be a problem for me. I like experiment, no one can tell us what we need. There are guidelines for the protein intake but 60g for a woman at 170lbs and not more, it sounds unnecessary for me, in general, at least. My vague goal is 80-90g, I am a short woman below 160lbs but if I have 120 or 160 now and then, that’s fine too. The latter doesn’t happen often anyway and a single day matters little.
If someone needs to go lower, maybe way lower, that’s an individual thing, not a general rule. Or if someone is against even a tad unnecessarily high protein and can do adequate protein, it’s up to them. But many people eat way more protein than me without a problem and not only big, muscular men. We should figure out what works best for us. VERY high is bad, very little is bad but we can’t say a single number or a tight range that this is the right amount.
