I have question about protein ...

Everytime i eat i get protein converting to carbs... thats not a pronlem for me cause i know how to manage it.

My daily intake of carbs is 45gr.

Is this protein making me problems cause it is switching to carbs ? Or that is not a problem for lchf ?

Also

I see a lot of people who workout like i do having one day where they refil with carbs. What do you think about that ?
 
It is normal for high protein intake to be converted to carbs. Many high protein low carb eaters do roughly 50% of the equivalent bolus for the same weight of carbs to cover it.

Carb loading is fine. I have done this and take my usual bolus ratio of insulin to carbs when doing it. It is normal for heavy weight training regimes.
 
But how manny tk,es per week do you suggest that ? I workout 4x a week crossfit
