Macro recheck


#21

It’s my limit for eating days only. No protein on fasting days, except for whatever is in bone broth that I’m supposed to have if my ketone reading gets over 6.5. I’m early and not fully fat-adapted so I was indeed getting a high reading here and there. But my understanding was that it was a guideline (followed by some, but clearly not all) for keto in generalized terms. I totally agree it’s not the right level for everyone, though.

Hey @Dizzy1, just wanted to mention, when I did a search from the forum menu bar on “protein macro”, I got a bunch of similar past conversations. There’s much of the same difference of opinion and experience we’ve got here, but I thought it might be useful (and I found it interesting too) since more people weigh in with their personal experiences playing with the protein level. As @In2steam and @mtncntrykid testify, there does seem to be a range, some of them needing to stay low near 50 g and some doing quite well at higher levels. I guess it depends on whether you’re getting results at the current level of protein, whether you’re still waiting to fat-adapt and need to try something to get you there, your own body’s mysterious inner workings, etc. :smile: Best of luck to you!

Thank you so much. I’ll check it out. :grinning:

I assume you’re going to rework your macros after all this advice, and not sure how much calories figure into it anyway, but something in your OP confused me: "1962 calories. 192 fat grams and 96 grams of protein. " Even with zero carbs, these two macros equal 2112 calories, if you’re adding in 20-30 grams of carb, you’re at 2200 calories +.

I’m sorry somehow my op was wrong. I was half asleep when I wrote it lol. Fats 169. Protein 91. Carbs 20
