[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 840662, member: 102150"] Me too, and in my experience your suggested ratio of 54% is much too high to be conservative. I will hypo when low carbing if I use a ratio above 33%. I suggest a conservative number to start with is 25%, test and titrate from there. 54% is also implying a degree of precision that simply doesn't exist given the level of variation. Given all the uncertainties, both theoretical and practical, I think you should use a round number, say 50% or 60% - though as I say I think those are too high. Whether the maximum value is 54% or 58%, there's no way you can say it's "conservative" to use a maximum value that would never be reached even if a person ate nothing but pure protein (since even then not all the protein would enter GNG). I've never heard this 80% number quoted. I would dismiss it as an outlier, rather than using it to justify well referenced experimental reports and well analysed metabolic sequences of the theoretical maximum as being "middle" values.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
