[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1685313, member: 240838"] Have you ever tracked your grams of protein carbs and fat? For true keto, it’s usally 20 carbs or less, 40-60 G protein for women and the rest is made up with fats to meet your calorie goal. Sounds like you might be over in carbs with all the veggies and avocado and too low in fat. Extra protein can raise bs. For me, if I don’t have enough fat in my meal I will spike. Also if I over eat protein or carbs. Here in the US many keto sites use total carbs, not net, so here, five oz of avo would be 13 carbs vs 3 there. I stay under 20 total as that’s what works for me. I keep my protein around 45g as I’m not that active. Just routine daily activity. Then I eat fat to satisfaction. In the beginning of keto it does pay to measure and weigh and track food until you have a better idea of macros. It’s usually alwasy 20 carbs or less. Some use net, some use total. 5% Protein ranges from 15-25% And fat 75-80% Those are the general ratios but it varies widely. [/QUOTE]
