[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1690788, member: 240838"] It’s closer to 75-85 fat, 15-20 protein and 20 or less TOTAL carbs I’m 80/15/20 total carbs. But whatever works for you. Keto isn’t about gobbling fat but rather minimizing carbs and protein because they both spike insulin. The new standards are .6 g per kg LEAN body mass but many eat over that. Then fill the rest in with healthy fats. I’m on many keto forums and they vary in macros but the 20 or less total, not net carbs is standard on all. Most have protein set for women between 45-60 max divided through the day. The biggest difference is in fat. Some do 800 calorie coffees and fat bombs. Load up on bacon and it’s grease etc. Some say fat until satisfied. I do Whole fresh food keto. An avocado a day is my main carb plus some veggies like brussel sprouts, broccoli or asparagus, some lettuce wraps with protein and fat in them. Most meals are protein, an avocado wedge and some random veg but small more frequent meals. I drink broth with ghee 2x per day but a little over a tsp ghee. I use butter and olive oil where needed. I snack on a few nuts or olives. I also use duck fat and beef tallow in my broth instead of ghee to get a variety of fats. I eat a wide variety of proteins. I do not eat chicken skins, bacon, bacon grease, lately no dairy except butter. But this is only the way I choose to do keto. There are many ways to choose from. But again the carbs and protein have to be low enough to not spike insulin and to allow your body to burn your own fat reserves as fuel. Hope that helps. Keto on.... [/QUOTE]
