cheat meal last night: 16 inch pizza just cheese and grilled chicken me and my g/f shared (she only ate like 3-4 pieces so I maned up, LOL) 4 cinnamon rolls w/2 glasses fat free milk. MMMMMMMMMMMM I was so fucking full, DELICIOUS!

What you guys had recently?

Frosty, I don't really gotta worry about too much protein in the cheat meal do I? I mean I'm sure there was a shitload in the pizza considerin all the cheese and they weren't shy with the chicken, then the two glasses of FF milk with the cinnamon rolls..

Hey frosty and myth do you do keto year round or do you also have a bulking period? If you do bulk what is your diet and intake ratios usually like. Also what's a typical day on your keto diet look like. Thanks.

So long as you get 50g you're fine. Most cheat meals would get this unless all you do is eat sweets and carbs.

Low carb year round for me now. Gaining weight just means more calories and I start eating more animal fats and the fat ratio is a bit higher. 50-60% fat. To gain whatever meat I want...pork, chicken, beef, eggs, cheeses, protein powder...and pretty much whatever animal protein I get my hands on.

Do any of you guys know of a chewing gum that would be acceptable for Keto? Can't find anything without sugar alcohols.

have you seen the workouts I do? I can't do keto anymore bro. I don't bulk either. I don't even bodybuild, as I loathe it with a passion. The only reason I come to boards like this is to help people with nutrition when I'm bored as shit

Do you watch your calorie intake or do you just eat as much as you can? Also do you add in any carbs pre or postworkout or just stick with the weekly cheat meal? What does a normal day look like for you?

My friend is 6'1 230lbs and between 10 and 13% bf...he wants to run keto but is too worried about losing muscle size...what kind of macros should he be taking in at each meal to maintain (or possibly gain) muscle while doing keto? Thanks for the help!!

50P/20F every 2.5-3hrs

It's fine so long as carbs are less than 50 per day. when I did keto I chewed 15 sticks a day (1g sugar alcohol each), but I took these carbs into account.

Calories are whatever it takes to gain mass at a decent rate. Carbs are only used if training rep ranges and volume dictate it. Every week it's a refeed and the amount depends on the results but it's generally a lot.

A normal day would consist of lots of whole eggs, protein powder, lots of beef and chicken and very often good amounts of pork. Some low carb veggies here and there but generally not much. Cheese I can add to meals if I want. Fats can be from some nuts, butter, whatever is in the meats and eggs, cream, cheeses, avocado, olive oil, etc.

Generally it might look like this:

Meal 1 - eggs or meat
Meal 2 - Shake
Meal 3 - meat (beef, pork, chicken)
Meal 4 - shake
Meal 5 - meat
Meal 6 - shake
Meal 7 - meat

Tell him to either stop being a little girl or just don't do the diet. You'll lose some fullness on the diet but who gives a rat's ass. If your ego is so fragile that it's damaged by not being super full then tell him that he's a little girl and the diet is not for him okay?

Never used tryptophan because it's more expensive than 5-HTP, but I have used and do like 5-HTP. It seems to be more helpful on a keto diet than a carb diet.

Due to L-form competing too much with other aminos. L-Tryptophan is most effective with less/no protein and some carbs, thus not ideal for a keto diet, and reasoning one would get more out of the 5-HTP.

And even 5-HTP should be taken 30 minutes before meals.

Right, but what I mean is, I'm SURE I get 50, but should I worry if I'm gettin too much, like say the pizza had 70-80 grams of protein. Is this a concern?
