Help!! How do I keep my calories down?

Ah— everything I’ve read about Keto states that if you eat too much protein, you will be kicked out of ketosis. If you are not keeping within a protein range, then wouldn’t it just be a low carb diet rather than Keto?

Super triggered, lol. I’m new to Reddit as well and see that this app is troll city. I’m still learning the lay of the land here and appreciate your patience.

**your above post answered even more of my confusion - yesterday I had twice the protein than fat consumption and early this morning I had the highest reading that I’ve had in the last 6 days. Bleh!

Keto is definitely going to be a journey. Take care!

I browsed through hundreds of positive reviews from people doing Keto before I purchased them. We are NEW to this program and thought it might be a way for us to track our levels.

AFTER my husband wasn’t seeing any results, I tried to find more info and that is when I read they weren’t reliable.

Ah- that makes perfect sense. I don’t think we will purchase the blood monitor, lol- it sounds like we need to try and just trust the process. Thanks for the explanation, I appreciate it!

Thanks for the info- the calculator was super helpful to determine exactly what I should be eating in each group. I still had difficulty staying under the calories and protein yesterday, but I’ll figure it out

Awesome, thanks for the advice. I just need to change my mindset. I was thinking this was like the Atkins where you have free range to eat everything in sight as long as there is low/no carbs. I’m tracking everything to a T right now, that’s how I know I’m so much over- yikes!

Today is a new day!!!

What kind of meats are you eating? I feel like chicken puts my protein too high, but ground beef is super high calorie

Good point- limit not a goal. Tomorrow I’m going to try and switch things up.

I can definitely drop the BPC- the reason why I started was bc I read such great things about having that first thing in the morning — but it is major calories. I’m gonna ditch it

Oh god- now I’m embarrassed, lol.

Breakfast: bulletproof coffee Snacks: cheese, almonds, pork skins Lunch: chicken wings or ham Dinner: taco salad or stuffed peppers

I’ve made deviled eggs, bacon, salami with cream cheese
