How long have you been Keto living? Why is your protein goal so low?
-
Joanna almost a month. Everything I鈥檝e read says to keep my carbs under 20g and my protein under 50g max. I鈥檓 not active, hypothyroid, kidney problems, and one year from 60 so I don鈥檛 want to eat very much compared to a younger active person. It鈥檚 hard to get High fat without the protein. I eat mct oil to help me get my fat up. But bacon, chicken, steak, and hamburger put my protein up.

I鈥檓 new. I don鈥檛 know what calculator you are using. Is that what this app says for your daily goal? 40-50g is basically one serving of meat so yeah kind of hard to achieve that especially just starting off. If a gram of protein is 4 calories you would only be getting 200 calories of protein a day. What is your daily calorie limit? If you are just starting and trying to lose weight, if it were me I wouldn鈥檛 be focused on a somewhat hard to obtain protein goal. I would make sure all my other numbers are in check and come up with a realistic protein goal for each meal. Once you get going you may find that your not having any issues eating let鈥檚 say 30g per meal or more. Even in that video he doesn鈥檛 say anything about only consuming 200 calories of protein for the whole day. He just says .8 times your weight. The online calculators take into account your age and whatever activity level your provide. What did yours recommend? I would start there or only slightly reduce that due to health issues until you see results. Good luck.

There are so many calculators out there that are so crazy with macros. One gave me the fat macros of 167....no way! I use a calculator made by Facebook group called Keto In the Chaos. I am currently at 1232 calories/ 120g protein,75g fat & under 20g carbs.

Hi! Great job on keeping your carbs down! Yesterday and the day before I was able to hit just the number of macros and they sound similar to yours! It鈥檚 ok not to eat meat during a meal! Do you like avocado, nuts, or nut butters? Some of the fattier nuts are walnuts, pecans, and macadamia. Also eating low carb veggies should still fit into your diet nicely! Like leafy greens, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower. As you read, it is important to keep your protein down as well because your body will try to use that as fuel and break that down into sugars.
