In order to fix a protein deficit on some days, I had devised a quick shortcut by dividing a High Protein Bar (by Pure Protein) in four parts (16 carbs in a whole one) and adding a teaspoon of butter on each portion. This would give me nice macro numbers (4-13-5) for as long as I don’t go over my daily 25 carbs and 95 proteins limits.
That’s for the theory. In fact, I have found myself in deep sugar craving after all three times I had those snacks. Plus this feeling of deep muscular fatigue, not unlike the first day or two when I got into ketosis.
My ketones did not go under 1.5 mmol/l though, so I did not leave ketosis.
Anyone else had similar experience? There are some sugar substitutes but then even if there was real white sugars, I would think keeping the numbers right should not be an issue am I right?
