Hi everyone!
My name is Brooke and I've been keto for a few months and loving it. Do you log foods regularly or as net carbs on MFP?

Hi Brooke, I'm Solanus. I log each meal when I can. I'm not super religious about it however. I'm also kinda doing lazy keto where I don't measure everything. I just have logical goals I want to try and achieve.
1g of Protein per pound I want to weigh (EX: I weigh 285 lbs, I want to weight 225 lbs. I aim for 225 g of Protein per day).
Fat I don't measure at all
Carbs I try and track so i'm not going over my 5% (25 g) goal. Keep in mind this is net carbs.
For macros I track Carbs, Fiber, Fat, and Protein
Any other questions let me know.1 -
Hi Brooke, I log everything except for most tea and spices, or other 0 calorie items. Generally, I subtract my overall fiber from my overall carbs and try to keep my net carbs under 30. Not super exact, but at least i know generally where I'm at. I'm just starting keto and will probably lower my carbs to 20 (or under) soon, but at this point I'm still learning. I want to keep as many veggies in my diet as possible...2

Hi all!
I am trying to be diligent in tracking everything (macros at 5, 25 and 70%) - I do the math for net carbs in the notes at the bottom. Though I found a hacking script on reddit for adding a net carb tracker (I don't know how to install or use the script): https://github.com/Surye/mfp-keto-userscript
My understanding of Keto is that it's most important to stay under 5% Net Carbs and not go too high with protein. I am aiming for .8 g per pound of lean body mass (found by hydrostatic bodyfat testing). Apparently too much protein can stall ketogenisis.0 -
Hmmm...Looks like we dropped the ball on this, eh? =]0
