My question I guess hinges on whether 50% of protein would always be converted to carbs. and secondly how low in carbs and high in fat does one have to go to achieve ketosis.I am assuming that the amount of protein eaten in this example meets all the body's protein needs adequately and has spare, non-essential protein to convert over into glucose.  And if I am working off adequate protein intake being say, 0.8 g per kg body then the TID would be about100 kg in weight..  ? lose some weight first with calorie restriction or drop protein intake to lose weight?I have read that protein is the most appetite satisfying of the three macronutrients but therein is the quandery - enough snacking on it might keep you or bounce you out of ketosis unless, as you say you do a  24 hour fasting.One can do a 24 hour fast as a TID, at least I have but it has to be done carefully.</blockquote>
