    Keto is essentially low carb, high protein, moderate fat.

    No that's Atkins.

    Keto is low carb, high fat, moderate protein.
    The ideal macro breakdown for keto is 5% of calories from carbs, 75% from fat, and 20% from protein.

    Remember that carbs and protein has ~4 calories per gram, and fat has ~9 calories per gram - don't make the mistake of doing that macro breakdown by weight.
    Also - the carbs are net carbs, total carbs minus the fiber. MFP won't do that calculation for you, but you can adjust your diary to show the fiber figures so you can easily do the net carbs calculation.


    True on all counts, but since protein is a goal, and fat is a limit, I personally think it makes sense to think of it as high protein and moderate fat.
    In case you want to make the net carb thing easier (not that simple subtraction is hard), there is a script you can run to make it calculate the net carbs. Here's a link: https://github.com/Surye/mfp-keto-userscript

    SO! I have been using Keto OS for about 2 weeks and just started counting macros for Keto (I have been counting macros with way higher carbs than "keto" for ages) this week after a strong plateau. Today I did my first ever intermittent fast.....and my tummy is all messed up! ahhhh! I don't think I'm going to be able to intermittently fast on weight training days. I'll be running to the bathroom too often!

    I started the ketogenic diet October 1st and have lost 10 pounds, but I feel like I could be doing something wrong because the weight has somewhat stopped coming off! I'd love to have support from other keto people!

    I have been “keto” or as I tell everyone “no sugar/carb” since September 15. I love it. I also do IF on 16:8 basis, and incorporate 24-48 if I am not hungry. It’s a total lifestyle change. You can add me.
