You estimate your body fat % (there are links for a few different ways to get…

  • Also, Chipotle! Do a salad with no rice or beans (AND skip their dressing, it is high carb)! Play with their calculator to find combinations that work for you http://www.chipotle.com/en-us/menu/nutrition_calculator/nutrition_calculator.aspx!

  • It's good that more fat is helping! This site is great for setting your intake goals: http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/. I would also say, that I felt really low energy and depressed when I was experiencing the keto-flu. A multi-vitamin, fish-oil, and D3 are good recommendations. I know it sounds weird, but a cup of hot…

  • I have a bit of an addiction to Torani Sugar-Free Syrups in my coffee. (Also great to add to whipped cream / 'keto-mousse').

  • I agree that your calories seem low. I'm 5'4, 165lbs, female, and at a pretty aggressive deficit I'm at 1320 kcal. You might have underestimated your body fat %?
