Convert to keto freindly. By using the Penzys…

Too much fat?
Bear with me as I'm new to this kind of diet. But I'm concerned about getting more than 50% of my calories from fat. I'm getting under 20g cards and just over 100g protein daily. From what I'm reading this is OK. Im just so used to restricting fat that it feels crazy when I see numbers like that. Can I eat too much fat in…

Rosacea and Keto
Have you found an improvement of your rosacea on Keto? I've been eating a very clean diet for about 1.5 years following the paleo/primal diet with no improvement (and no weight loss) and can finally say that lowering my carbs appears to have significantly improved my rosacea. The only other change that I have made recently…

Can I just rant for a minute?
Please? I'm having a really bad day (emotionally, not food-wise), and I'm just tired of people. I asked an honest question in the main forums, regarding pros and cons of keto, and while some people answered from experience, sooooo many completely disregarded my question, and went straight to CICO. I'm not stupid, and I…

Hi all, So I just got a blood glucose and ketone meter and am a bit confused as to what to make of my first test results. I ate a full breakfast including bacon, eggs and coffee with heavy cream.

Hello all! I'm just starting out with Keto! So far feeling great! I was looking into options for satisfying my sweet-tooth. I've been good, but I know a craving will creep up on me.

volume of food
Hi everyone! I'm new to keto, but not low carb. Almost 3 weeks in, IF-ing, and no troublesome hunger except for my eyes. I just made a 22 gram protein lunch with 1/4 avocado and spicy yogurt sauce.

So I ran my info through the keto calculator and this is what was at the bottom of the page. But I'm very much a visual person. What kinds of food choices does this look like on paper?
