You're gonna have a very hard time entering Ketosis on 600 grams protein a day. All the excess protein you eat will get converted to carbs which is exactly what you don't want. 20-25% of calories max for keto. You must have faith! IP: Logged |

. 9 x body weight should be the amount of protein you should have. 1.5 x protein should be the amount of fat you have have Example for me 182 x .9 =164 grams of protein You can also lower the amount of fat and increase the amount of carbs, just make sure you are still in Ketosis when you increase your carbs, dont forget that too much protein can take you out of ketosis too.

If you're on a straight keto diet i.e. Atkins or something, you might be able to get away with something like 30-35% calories from protein, and even increasing your carbs up to 50g per day, if you do it gradually. However, if you're on a CKD i.e. you carb up on the weekends - which is what bodybuilders should do (Atkins is better for the fat and sedintary) - stick to 25% protein, less than 5% carbs, around 70% fat. When you're jumping in and out of ketosis every week, there'se no room to fuck around and risk killing the diet with too much protein. Besides, it's completely unecessary, since ketosis is anti-catabolic, especially when combined with the monster anabolic burst of the carb-up. So scarf that grease and good luck! IP: Logged |
