I have been eating ketogenic for a few years off and on. I have had successful weight loss with it and generally feel much better than with a traditional diet.
Recently, I have stepped up my fitness regiment to change my body composition and lose the remaining weight I have.
Currently I am 35yrs, 6ft, 233lbs, 31ish% body fat. (Male)
My seditary TDEE is 2,334 cal/day
I am doing a PPL routine of weight lifting 6 days a week, not much cardio (10 minutes of elliptical to warm up)
Right now I am eating 1600 cal/day 170-200g protein Less than 20g carbs And fat varies based on how over/under my protein is for the day
I am eating a high amount of protein to minimize muscle loss and gain some muscle during this cutting phase.
Im not starving myself, I eat when I am hungry. My workouts aren't grueling, I can get through the 8-9 exercises without a problem.
I am not fat adapted yet. I am on week 2 of strict keto. My blood tested 95mg/dl for glucose and 1.1mmol/L ketones this morning.
My weight hasn't really moved in the last 2 weeks. 2 lb fluctuations. I won't know if my fat % is changing until I measure again next week.
Any recommendations for changes or is this okay? My main goal is to lose the remaining fat I have and get down to <20% body fat while retaining/building some muscle.
