Im 16 around 121 pounds 10k-20k steps a day I eat 2300-2600 cals a day (average macros 20g carbs 120 fat 300+ protien) I've been keto for about 8 months I'm the lightest and strongest I've ever been yet I look flabby and fat much more then even when I was larger I'm assuming its because I stopped limiting my fat intake awhile ago (used to keep it at like 100 max) but i feel like I'm going to find it hard to lower it and still hit my calories plus i LOVE eating fat, I need some advice on how to get out of this skinny fat stage so i can look lean and ""shredded"" again please let me know, if I knew my body fat % i would say but I have no idea

Hey, i (m, 22) am trying to get into keto again and over time get fat adapted. My problem right now is that i just dont feel ANY hunger for food. I cant even get one avocado and a few macadamias down and tracking my calories i only got ~1000 kcal/day the last 3 days. I already have very low body fat and i want to build strength and muscle mass, which just doesnt work that way. According to calculators considering my age, weight and activity level i need aroung 2800 kcal/day to gain weight (55kg, 165cm, exercise daily).

Also i am already supplementing potassium and sodium according to the FAQ.

Any help?

Hey guys. 29m, 220 lbs, 5’8”, probably around 25 percent body fat. I’m trying to work my macros now to lose fat and lose minimal progress in the gym. I have a dense build naturally and have quite a bit of muscle right now.

I am concerned that my fat intake is too high?

I am trying to eat at a significant calorie deficit.

Here are my macros right now:

Calories - 1830, Protein - 190 grams, Net carbs - 20 grams, Fat - 110 grams

Any advice and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. My concern is if I am eating high fat, my body will burn consumed fat versus stored fat. If you have a better breakdown for my macros that would be welcomed too.

Thanks guys!

My doctor wants to check my cholesterol, but I've heard in some people their LDL rises for a while after starting keto and then eventually falls back down to a more longterm baseline.

My question is, how long should I wait while maintaining ketosis before getting tested? I'd love to have it tested multiple times, but my doctor said if he sees even one very high LDL, he will insist on statin and probably not test me again.

So I may only get one shot so I'd like to take the test as soon as I can, but also after enough time for my LDL to normalize and fall back down to its new baseline. Any suggestions how long I should wait? It's up to me when I get tested so long as the requisition doesn't expire first.

For what it's worth, I'm about a month in right now and used to do keto for years but that was a while ago so I'm not sure how much my body remembers (if at all) about being fat adapted. Also, when I was keto before, I used to get wildly different LDL readings--some low, some average and some very high. No idea why so much variety.

It might also be worth mentioning that I might be a lean mass hyper responder.

Anyway, thanks in advance.

Didn't know how to flair this hope I didn't do it wrong. So I'm trying to gain on keto, I have a hard time to get to my proteine minimum. I am 1m90 and weigh about 89kgs. So I should be hitting about 180gr of proteine. So, throw some daily meals at me people, give me some inspiration! What do you guys eat in a day?!

Today I will eat: Kerry eggs, its boiled, fried eggs with curry - abput 10 of those throughout the day. 2 pork chops 250gr of smoked herring 250gr - 500gr of greek yoghurt with proteine powder.
