[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 1267657, member: 48386"] Trying to measure ketones is like trying to hit a moving target - similar to BG - levels vary probably minute by minute depending on what your metabolism is doing at the time. I doubt there's any such thing as "steady state" ketosis. According to Dr Ron Rosedale, if your body is efficiently using ketones as an alternate fuel source, then levels should be low - higher readings indicate inefficient burning. Dr Fung's recent blogpost on protein might help you: [URL]https://intensivedietarymanagement.com/how-much-protein-is-excessive/[/URL] [I]"the international group recommended that normal healthy people should get roughly 0.6g/kg/day. In order to make sure everybody was covered, the WHO added 25% (2 standard deviations) above the mean to get 0.75 g/kg/day which sometimes gets rounded up to 0.8 g/kg/day. In other words, 97.5% of the healthy general population loses less than this 0.75 g/kg/day of amino acids. This is not a low standard. This is a very, very high standard of protein intake. For a standard 70-kg male this is 52.5 g/day. Remember this is for absolutely healthy adults, not gaining or losing weight and the amount needed to cover the average amino acid losses are only 42 g/day (0.6g/kg/day)." [/I] Calculating for myself, that would be about 40-50g. I can't imagine going that low without being ravenous - protein satiates me more than any other macro. [/QUOTE]
