Any tips for starting again?
I'm restarting keto, for the umpteenth time in umpteen years, it works for me, but everytime I restart I have to play games with myself.

New guy here
So I just started, made the decision to not worry about calories at first. I have configured MFP to a 75%, 20%, 5% ratio of macros. And it's been great. Just ate a grilled chicken breast with a hot sauce made of Frank's and olive oil . I am being strict only in the ratio. Can't wait to see what happens

fiber in macros
In your macros do you just mentally subtract your fiber to get the net carbs? I am over on my carb allotment but that would be better with the fiber count. Is there a way to get net carbs in my macros?

Acid in food and Acetone
For two weeks I have been tasting and smelling acetone. My breath does not smell like it, but if there is acid in a food or drink it is disgusting. I went around tasting things and the more acid in the item the worst the taste, a coke was like drinking nail polish remover and bugspray. Is there any reason I should not be…

Trying to do keto instead of moderate low carb
I've seen a lot where many people need to be below 20g carbs to be in keto. But other sites say below 50g. I know it's different for everyone so I'm not sure where I need to be. I was wondering if someone could look at my log and tell me if I need to adjust anything. Thank you for any advice
