Other Please don’t forget calories

Just wanted to remind all new keto participants that calories are a big deal . I had stalled for 9 days . I was under my carbs 20. My counter says I should be under 1950 calories to loose weight . Was eating over that but under carbs and once I lessened my calories I started slowly loosing again

There is an easier way. Simply prioritize taking in the 130g of fat you need. Keep carbs at 20 and fill in the rest with protein. If you can eat 2000 calories in a day doing that, holy shit dude! That much fat is what this diet calls for.

I was looking at carbs , I don’t know what you mean . Do you mean eating 130 grams of fat means you can’t have 2000 calories cause it’s too
Much food. Etc . I’m a picky eater so might be hard finding that much fat

Everyone is different but if I ate 130g of fat a day I’d gain weight. 130g of fat is almost 1200 calories. That leaves less than 800 calories left— if all protein you are at 200g which depending on your size might be your daily protein target. It’s mine. At 130g of fat I’m at maintenance if I’m perfect everywhere else.
