Adjusting macros using the Exercise Calories setting
Hi there, I’m happy with my MFP macros setup for keto. My overall goal is to lose weight by consuming 1700 calories on non-exercise days. On a day like today where I burn 1500 calories exercising, I feel I should use MFPs settings for Goals, Exercise Calories, Custom Percentage. I’d like my carbs to remain at 20g so I just…

No Appetite
Hey all. I started back on keto more strictly (tracking and getting around 5-6% (<20g) carbs a day) last Tuesday. Friday I suddenly started dying of thirst and I have had no appetite since. I have sticks but I haven't used them because I know I'm in ketosis. The issue is I cannot eat. I actually grabbed a small handful of…

Cholesterol Jumped with Keto! Thoughts?
Hi, just joined the group. I'm happy to delete this after getting a response so the group isn't unnecessarily clogged up. Is there a way to do a key word search ONLY within this group? I don't want to pull in posts from 20 other groups. Thank you.

Intermittent fasting on keto
I broke my 36 hour fast with a nice juicy T-Bone steak and a cute little healthy salad. This is the first time I’ve gone that long without eating (besides when I was young and partying) I feel so satisfied after eating which doesn’t happen often when I’m not dieting. Who else does intermittent fasting? How long do you go…

Keto without dairy
Hi everyone. I'm doing a version of keto without dairy (eggs are ok) and limiting my fats. It's essentially meat and veggies with some healthy fats. I need recipe ideas! 95% of the recipes I find include cheese or gallons of heavy cream. Basic meat and veggies gets old really quickly.

Age and counting calories with keto
For the past several years, I've found that I cannot lose weight on keto unless I also count calories. I can lose weight if I keep the calories below 1200 - 1400. I think my age may have something to do with it. I'm 66. Anyone else have this experience?

3 months in - 17 kg/37 lbs down

Macros- How many times do I count this?
Recently switched from coffee to a herbal coffee substitute. It has 3g carb per bag of tea. I can use the bag 3x. Just wondering if I should count it once and continue to use it as long as I can. Or, does it count as 3g each time?

Collagen Protein - to count, or nah?
I was recently told that I don't need to/shouldn't count the protein from my collagen powder (vital proteins) towards my total daily macro. Is this accurate? I struggle to stay at or near my protein goal (I go over it alllll the time) and a big portion of that is the 20g of protein in two tiny scoops of powder!
