Out of Ketosis

Hi. I am on day 9. Was in ketosis by day 5 and was sooo happy. I have followed my macros without going over. The only think I can think of is too many fat bombs. They don’t put me over my macros but can they kick me out of ketosis??

    How are you measuring your ketones and what are your results?  The most reliable way is a blood ketone meter as urine strips and breath meters only measure wasted ketones, which provide, at best, only an indirect estimation of ketosis. With a blood test meter, anything over 0.5 is nutritional ketosis. Some sources say anything over 0.3.  Higher numbers are not necessarily better as ketones are a fuel and will go up and down with production and usage. Think of it as the difference between how well your car is running and how much gas is in the tank. For example, if you just exercised and your ketones dropped, it doesn't mean that exercise "kicked you out" of ketosis, it probably means you burned a bunch of ketones for fuel, which is exactly what you want to happen.
