Surplus scenario/question

Carb up question
If one follows a ketogenic diet, and regularly consumes less than 30g of carbs we can assume they have little, if any glycogen. So, if one carbed up, would all the calories from the carbs be stored as glycogen (to a certain extent) until stores are full? If so, what would the actual calories-in be, on a given carb up day?…

My experience with Keto diet and adaption
I have been cutting for a few months, and this past month and a bit i have tapered carbs down gradually until i was down to 30g a day. I did 6 days at 30g and under, then i refeeded for two days. I certainly experienced fewer cravings for food, mainly due to higher fat. However, i did experience brain fog, lightheadedness,…

keto low carb refeed question
Are high carb refeeds stricly necessary, or are other methods more productive towards fat loss? Sure the refeed of glycogen will help you perform higher intensity exercises for the week, but wouldn't this limit fat loss because body will have to get back into ketosis. Theres no doubt people will be able to perform high…

problem with aldi meats
Hello, Products from aldi say '100g (as sold)' so am i right in thinking the 100g value are uncooked? However, how accurate is this? Because cooking reduces the weight of most foods significantly and i tend to favour tracking cooked foods
