Keto is getting scary for me.
I'm on week 3 of Keto, as some of you know, I've been experiencing some muscle fatigue lately, tried taking magnesium supplements but would feel like crap after taking them.

On-the-go HF no carbs snack.
What do you eat when you want to snack but not keep adding up on that carb count? I'm looking for high fat - 0 carbs foods I can keep around that won't require any cooking (if possible). I'm aware of fat bombs and I'm planning on making some but I'm wondering if there's something I can have around and maybe take with me on…

Muscle fatigue getting worse.
I hike 2-3 times a week, and I didn't have any issues before.

I finished t but It was brutal, 6 miles feeling I hs knives stabbing my legs. As soon as I…

Help with macros - Keto.
I started Keto diet 5 days ago and, I don't know why, MFP threw a fit and decided to reset my macros now (something like 253g carbs/80g protein/120g fat goals). I just installed both add ons to show net carbs and be able to modify my goals, so I decided to go to the macro calculator and get some more accurate macros. I'm…

When protein is "too much protein"

So my question is: how much protein is too much protein? I'm on Keto day 6, eating from 90-160g of protein (mostly because I haven't stopped to look for high fat-med protein…

Fitbit - map my walk advice.
I have a Fitbit Charge HR and I've been using it 24/7, but for walks/hikes/runs I also use Mapmywalk.

At the end of the hike it logged 900ish cals, I didn't check on…
