That will give you an idea of where your macros can be..
I shoot for 5% carb, 72% fat, and 23% protein. The actual amount depends on my calorie consumption.0 -

I'm still having issues getting the hang of it even at 2 months. I've had to increase my carbs (only healthy ones) to keep me going as I started feeling horrible as my muscles began to break down. I like that I don't have to eat all day but depending on the day - I sometimes have to adjust my intake.

Your muscles began to break down? The ketogenic diet is muscle sparing. Unless you were not getting adequate protein or you were literally starving..theres no way your muscles were breaking down.0 -

Maybe keto flu? Try upping your sodium. Chicken broth helped me get through the beginning when my body was adjusting. Pickles, too.

Sounds like keto flu to me. Like blktngldhrt said, up your sodium intake, and also drink a ton of water. Broth does help alot!0
