Can a meal be only protein based ( like grilled chicken breast or protein shake ), or each meal must have 65%fat 30%prot 5%carb ?

    I feel best (and most satisfied) if there is a fat component to each meai--but at the end of the day, as long as the macros work out, I have not noticed any difference. It all depends on your level of satisfaction with your mostly protein meal. Do you still feel a bit hungry soon after? Then you're probably missing some fat for satiety.

    My husband's and my experience is that a single meal with heavy protein can knock us out of ketosis. We measure blood ketones, and can see the impact. Your results may vary. I always try to have a good source of fat at every meal, and try to have as many grams of fat as protein at each meal.
