[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1129187, member: 93179"] I've never normally counted calories - just worked out what I could eat within my chosen range of ( less than 50g) carbs per day. You [B]do[/B] need to eat full fat if you go very low carb, as this is needed as replacement energy, but this doesn't necessarily mean you must stuff yourself full of it. Being in ketosis means you're burning fat, so you do need to have enough either dietary or body fat for your energy needs. Use one of the low carb/keto calculators such as [B][URL='http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/DietMakeupCalc.php']this one[/URL][/B] to work out your personal carbs/protein/fats proportions (Googling will find you others). You can slip in and out of ketosis, and I used to believe this was a problem, but apparently once your body is fat adapted, then it will happily switch between whatever fuel sources are most readily available. I find I tend to go in and out of ketosis all the time, depending on what I've eaten carbs and fat wise and how much fuel I've used up. Robbity [/QUOTE]
