But they don't affect your fasted state the way consuming real protein would.

BCAAs are in all proteins.

Branched chain amino acids. They help your muscles retain themselves when you restrict/fast. They're sorta like incomplete protein. L-leucine etc. They taste terrible by themselves but much more cost effective to get plain BCAA powder and mix with pre workout mix or something tasty to cover the bitter taste.

I think Chipotle or Free Birds is more universal in the U.S. now. there are a ton around here. haven't had it since doing keto but wanna try getting a bowl - without the rice!! just pick your meat, they have a ton of veggies, sour cream, guacamole...yummm yummm it will be so good when I finally get around to going. also,…

Looks like he deleted his profile...strange

My BCAA's are straight BCAA's with nothing else. The pre workout I've used in my cupboard says it has 0 anything. Does have sucralose but wouldn't be the only sweetener I've used thus far

So yes you're right about net carbs but instead of 1 net carb it could be more like 5. dunno how you really can accurately calculate stuff like that

I think Maltitol should count for more carbs than the other sugar alcohols, I've heard/read about it not being the same as the others and having more carbs.

Lol. People keep talking about pepperoni snacks. I want some of those. No krogers around here but there is Walmart and heb

Blue diamond almonds that is I eat those a lot :)

5 g carbs 3 g fiber per 1 oz/28 nuts

Jello and cream cheese is that yummy? What's the recipe?

Are they with the jerky or in a diff section?

Don't let it bring you down too much. No use crying over spilled mango juice!

It could just be a unique group logo instead of food.

how about oil or fat that's oozing out of some orifice...seems applicable to all here :P

Coffee, magnesium, oil seem to help me.

I'm sorta doing some IF, just drinking liquids until I feel like I really gotta eat - it's been around 4 or 5 pm the last couple days. I'd say workout if you have the energy otherwise do light walking? If you're keto adapted then supposedly you should have the energy to workout.

So you guys who count total carbs only eat up to 20 g total carbs? That really sucks. I guess I hit 30-40 total carbs when I get around 20 g net carbs.

I've just started keto and really like it but I think I may end up cycling in and out of it depending on other physical goals. And maybe so I can have treats here and there without feeling like I'm destroying my body. Definitely some stuff would motivate me to follow this diet more often than not: fighting free radicals,…

I would think you wouldn't want to/need to consume entire daily allotment at that time. I don't think I'd do that, just a decent big meal and whatever you need to ensure you get all the nutrition for the day you need

I've been kinda wired at night the first few days of my keto diet. But have allowed myself to sleep later than ideal partly to give my body a break from all the changes and get enough rest, but also because I haven't wanted to go to sleep at night until late sometimes. Think it is kinda balancing back out a bit more now…

How do you guys feel about fasting? I might try a day of just liquids (water, Powerado Zero, probably coffee)

I think I have awake carbmares where I just have intense carb fantasies/daydreams at night before I go to bed. I've had one dream where my girlfriend just wanted to eat carbs and I was mad at her for it but ate some with her anyway. Think that's the only related dream I've had so far that I remember

How critical is it to stay at <20 g carbs for ketosis? I've seen a lot of people saying they're in keto at 30 or even 50 net grams

Maybe...how bout them apples?

If I put 2 ears of corn in my pot roast for my lady friend to enjoy will I get more carbs in my servings that I eat without the corn? My guess would be not much if so

Is there a good substitute for psyllium husk powder if my store doesn't have it? It's not with the flour replacements and corn starch stuff

Is almond meal the same thing as almond flour? Do they do different stuff? Almond meal is what's in the bulk foods section but my recipes call for almond flour

does anyone know what thread a hemp breakfast cereal recipe link was posted in? I can't seem to find it. or does anyone know a good easy recipe?
