Quick newbie macro question


#21

You don’t have a max fat, get that out of your head. Your protein is fine if your in the gym and lifting. If your actively lifting and trying to GAIN muscle I wouldn’t worry about anything under 150g or so, expect many people to be petrified of protein in keto circles. On days that your not lifting then dial it back. If your only looking to MAINTAIN muscle OR if workout out means strolling on an elliptical while your watching TV then your going to want to go with the more or less standard 0.8-1.5g/kg lbm. Many of us lifting go higher than that with no issues at all, but you’ve gotta learn what your body likes and doesn’t. What are your current gym goals? Male/Female? Looking for a little or a lot of muscle gain? All of that can change the protein equation HUGE when it comes to keto.
