Anyone have an idea on macros for muscle maintenance / gain while cutting fat? I’m doing minimal cardio these days. I get in 7-8000 steps per day and lift 4 days a week. 201 lbs, 5’10”, turn 54 super bowl weekend. Keto works for me for weight loss but not for muscle building. Thanks in advance. god bless

Set calories below whatever your BMR is. Win.

How many g protein/day you doing on keto?

Remeber that 30% of protein calories are consumed in processing so while they calculate 5 lcal/g proteins its truly only 3.5kcal/g. This is why they say to keto at x grams where x = 80% of your bodyweight in pounds. At a target weight of 185 to 190 that would be about 150g protein (18oz chicken breast) with about 1200kcal to spare. Fats ring in at 9kcal/gram and carbs 5kcal/gram, but youll want to focus on minimizing carbs aside from the innate carbs in your vegetables. I like to do a lot of zucchini and brocolli. Last night i did tacos with almond flour + egg +unsweetened almond milk whipped up to a batter and fried to make crepe-like tortillas.

maybe give intermittent fasting a go while in keto. minimizing insulin should lower your metabolic target weight and if you are in keto, then you shouldn't see significant losses to lean body mass. You are potentially missing out on some of the anabolic effects of insulin, but you still realize them around your meal(s), which should occur following lifts anyway. Also, intermittent fasting stimulates autophagy, which offers the added bonus of cleaning up unnecessary/harmful tissues like plaques. Google all this stuff, could be complete bullshit, but all seems plausible.

I want to start up intermittent fasting again. I had it going for about 2 weeks last year and then I ate outside window once and could never get back into it. Worked really well for me because it was easy to spread my target calories over two moderately sized meals than spread over the whole day.

Right now I’m just eating less without tracking it and it’s working ok. ~2.8/week

Since December, 213 to 199 today. 39 to go.

very cool. I've been at it for a while now and I've found it is actually a lot easier for me in keto because I just don't get hungry and when I do it, I don't get hit with a post-meal fog. I take calories once a day around 1:00 and then just water/coffee/tea (no sweetener/malk/etc) the rest of the time. I was surprised by the amount of visceral fat I've lost.

Question Hmmmm IDK

Is turning our diets or daily exercise routines into a strict computer algorithm or scientific formula for "peak efficiency" really going to accomplish something wonderful? I can appreciate the goals and the general idea of healthy habits & practices....but some seem to be treating or talking about their eating and exercise lifestyles to an exact science like it's some kinda engineering project?

IDK this just bores the heck out of me personally....is boredom or tedium really worth the extra "gains"?

Besides feeling "better" and looking "hot", are we trying to sex up robots eventually? This sounds like robot talk to me! [You must be logged in to view images.

Are we preparing for life, dating, & sex with robots? Can't we wait 100 years more for this? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Not at all. And I doubt I ever will because I don't take anabolic steroids. So unless I really leaned out, which isn't going to happen, I won't ever look like that. I like my very natural look when I'm not pumped up.

He does a lot of good stuff and is a genuinely nice dude, so he gets cut some slack for looking like a freak. But it's hard to do what he does and not.

But didn't realize that this is more like... P99's 4chan or something.

except instead of random anons its a shark attack of a small clique that posts here all the time. so he's doubly fucked.
