Hi All,
I have been reading through the forums and gained quite a bit of advice, I do however have a couple of questions that I’m hoping someone could help me with.
I have just started (4 days in) the Exante diet, I’m doing the man plan, where I have either 2 meal replacement shakes a day and a 400 calories (low carb) meal, or 4 shakes a day. I have been looking online and to get into the Ketosis state its recommended that you eat about 60-75% of calories from fat, 15-30% of calories from protein, and. 5-10% of calories from carbs. However I have looked on the back of the sachets and it looks like this
51g packet
17.6g Carbs (34%)
6.5g Fat (13%)
17.4g Protein (33%)
These figures don’t look anything like the ones to get into a Keto state. I was just wondering whether anyone could clarify this, or am I just reading everything wrong,
Secondly, in regards to exercise, if I goto the gym and burn say 300 calories running or cycling, am I supposed to top my calorie intake up, so I have still had 800 calories, or do I just stick on my normal regeme, and only have a net intake for the day of 500 calories.
Thanks again for any help
Matt
