KETO: HOW MUCH PROTEIN SHOULD I EAT? HOW TO CALCULATE MY MACRO?

Today mark my 160 days of my Keto Journey.

The most difficult part would be when my bosses or colleagues ask me out for lunch and my answer always:" I am sorry boss, I have brought my lunch box." The reason for not going out with them is because I actually spent a lot of effort for my food. From picking up fresh food, calculate the nutrition, cooked them and packed into my lunch box.

At this point of time, I believe myself has entered Ketosis. As I feel more energetic and I need only one meal per day.

During the initial stage, everyone including myself will be concentrating on Carbs intake. However, at the later stage, we should remember protein is rather important as well. As protein helps us to build our muscles.

In this article, I would like to share on : How much protein should I eat during my High Fat Low Carbs diet? What is my ideal Macro? 

A good range of protein ratios in Keto would be 1.0 grams to 2.0 grams per kg of your body weight. As excess protein might kick you out of ketosis. However, If you don’t eat enough protein, your body could start converting your muscle mass protein to glucose.

To calculate how much protein you need, here is the simple calculation which i found it very useful:

Take your Lean Body Mass (LBM) (97 pounds) and multiply it by 0.6 to get your minimum protein amount (97 x 0.6 = 58.2g).

Do the same for your maximum protein intake (97 x 1.0 = 97g).

The ideal intake range, in this case, would be between 58.2–97g of protein per day.
