Question About Macros
I'm hitting my macros exactly everyday according to the keto ratio and my caloric intake. But I have a question about adjusting my calories from day to day. I'm an athlete in several different sports, and some days I need more calories than others due to my workout schedule. When I adjust my calories, naturally the macros numbers change as well. For instance, if i bump up my calories from 2000 to 2500, protein, fat and carbs grams all go up a little bit. Is this ok to do and still remain in ketosis?

Sorry nobody answered this for me, but now that I have been doing it for a period of time, I can answer the question myself.
I have stayed in ketosis just fine by cycling my calories and macros up and down significantly. I vary my caloric total from 500-700 calories up or down depending on the day, and as long as I maintain the keto ratio 5-25-70 I stay in ketosis. I've confirmed this many times by actually testing for ketones.
