Hello everyone - i am a little confused having read the info on this website regarding a ketogenic diet. It advises no more than 50g of protein per day - it is such a tiny amount, shouldn't it be at each meal? Wouldn't
50g be something like one egg per day?
Eggs have 6g of protein each so you could eat plenty of omlette but should try and vary your sources.
As to 50g being the limit that will depend on your:
Age (older people digest protein less well so need more and more so if taking omeprazole or anything reducing stoach acid)
Activity level - very active people need more
Ranges given in guides range from 0.8g per kg of body weight up to 2g or a more visual guide (look at your fist and imagine 3 portions of that size)
If you are eating it as a whole food e.g. packaged up with its natural fats (not protein powder or skinless chicken) then I do not think you will run into any problems if you eat to your appetite. After all you hear of people binging on bread or chocolate but never steak!
