Does anyone ever....
.....get irritated by how little most people understand about nutrition?! Because I really DO! Every now and then I'll read the posts on the general boards (the ones that are advertised on the main page) and I just think wow, you people really have no clue. It makes me sad to think how much people believe they know about…

Veggies on Keto
Hi Keto Friends! As I get in to the swing of keto-things and snooping through other food diaries I'm seeing that not many keto peeps eat a ton of veggies (at least on the diaries I've gone through). Pre-keto I was eating lots of veg and am accustomed to that but now that I'm really watching my carbs I'm noticing that the…

Question for the ladies

I thought FAT was to be higher then PROTEIN?
So I set my macros to 65%/30%/5%, if not higher fat and lower protein. And this is the results: Fats are higher then protein but not by much but still I thought fat consumption was to be higher then protein.

Since I've started keto (round 2), I'm catching on to some things that escaped me 12 years ago. For me, besides staying low carb, the next challenge is not overdoing the protein.

Recalculating Macros
I am absolutely in awe at how quickly the weight is coming off. Keto and I are in a serious honeymoon phase right now <3 That being said, when do you recalculate your macros? When you hit a plateau? When you lose a certain amount of weight? When a certain amount of time has passed?

Hello from Canada
Hi, I am new to this group, living in the Greater Toronto Area, Canada. I am trying to lose weight for the "N'th" time but hopefully this time it will work.

i have no idea how to log what i just ate!
so, it was a homemade recipe. i just made 4 pounds chicken wings on the grill. i made homemade wing sauce. i made homemade blue cheese dressing. I ate about half the wings. But that isn't 2 pounds of meat. The problem with wings is that the Nutrition Data on the package tells you the totals for the meat. Of which there is…

Venting...
I've been doing keto since the beginning of this year (with some schedule breaks every month or so). I've mainly stuck to the same meal plan, but last week decided I need to get more adventurous with my snacks.
