I started Keto 4 days ago, I’m in pretty good shape already 16% body fat female. I just used the blood test strips and I’m at .3 does this mean I’m not in ketosis yet?
What does it mean if my ketone level is lower than 1.5

You’re probably not there yet. Be patient.
Wait until you get like me. I’ve been doing this for 8 months and doing regular extended fasting for three months and my measured ketones (on pee strips) have all but disappeared. But weight loss, drop in FBG levels and careful eating guarantee I am burning ketones. I wish I could know whether I am.

You are registering ketones, which means you are on the right track.

You sound fat adapted
Urine test strips measure wasted ketones
If you have a trace reading, it means your body is using those ketones effectively for fuel.
