CKD help

[argent]

Ok I'v ebeen looking into the CKD to lean up and I used the worksheet. But it comes out a little weird.


CKD Worksheet by: Mr. X


Day BMR Cal/day Fat Grams Protein Grams Carb Grams
1 2850 269 107 < 20 Grams

2 2700 225 169 < 20 Grams

3 2550 184 223 < 20 Grams

4 3000 233 195 < 20 Grams

5 2700 210 202 < 20 Grams

6 2550 184 223 < 20 Grams

(Carb Up)
7 3900 43 195 682



Now heres the deal: That is way less protein than I've ever eaten on a cutting diet and I am very concerned about catabolism.
Is the worksheet screwed up or is 250 lb BB really supposed to eat that little protein?

i was told his worksheet has been over on protein before.... i would like to know also

Here is Mr. X's reasoning. Protein can be easily converted to glucose. As a result, your first day after the carb up has very low protein and high fat in order to get you into ketosis quickly. Ketones are protein sparing so once you are in ketosis catabolism is greatly reduced.

this seems to go against conventional wisdom though.

Its only low protein for 1 - 2 days until u hit ketosis... and once u get used to the diet u can up it a little to see what works best for u .........
