Another Keto Question was created by WTF

I am keen to do the Keto diet, but a bit need a bit of help with what to eat.

The main problem is that I am on a hair-string budget. (weird thing is that it is more expensive to eat healthy).

What are the best things to eat for the keto diet, I know that the chicken, tuna and the yellow lid black-cat peanut butter is ok.

What else do you guys eat?

I have lots of ideas. Trouble is, most of them suck.

I seriously doubt Keto will work on a hair-string budget.Rather save until you have enough money for all the food.Protein in any form is always shit expensive.

Go to the link below,its the best source of information i've found on Keto.

U might wana have a look at the Dave Pulambo Keto Diet, it works like the shiz niz ...

It gets boring but it does the job and its not really expensive. Buy everything in bulk and you sorted.

Im on it now.

Just make sure the portions are customized to your stats for the best results ...

and contest prep.
60% Protein, 30% fat, 10% carbs
Do you use Katch McArdel (BMR) or the Harris Benedict Method (BMR) method for your MBR?

I have lots of ideas. Trouble is, most of them suck.

Meal 1:
5 whole eggs
20g whey protein
(maybe add 2 slices bacon and reduce by 1 egg)

Meal 2:
40g Whey protein
30g peanut butter

Meal 3:
200g chicken or tuna
100g broccoli
20g peanut butter

Meal 4:
40g Whey protein
20g peanut butter

Meal 5:
150g mince, or gammon steak, or pork sausages, or hake medallions
100g brussell sprouts

Meal 6:

40g Whey protein
20g peanut butter

Need to up the protein a bit but staying in at about 2550 calories is a bit tricky, but will change things a bit to get it working

I have lots of ideas. Trouble is, most of them suck.

dude all i can say is work with your overall mass unless u are really obese,start with the diet alone untill the fatloss stops then add in cardio,then adjust calories then add in more cardio then adjust calories more... u can drop me a mail and i can design everything for u but i do charge though,,,

The Atkins diet is one of the keto diets rich in saturated fats like those found in bacon. The Palumbo diet tries to remove these unhealthy fats. You can maintain a ketogenic state with either but just remember there is an added risk to cardiovasculare disease with the former. Atkins type diets are notoriously linked to cardiovascular disease.

You may need to go lwer yes. Certainly if your energy hasn't picked up its indicative that you are not in ketosis.

One additional aspect considering your stomach cramps is that you may be fat intolerant. Do you sometimes not feel great after fatty meals?

I am only mildly fat intolerant, I can eat a moderate portion of fat, but should my meals be rich in fat I start to feel drained and ill. I know I have slight IBS when it come to fat sources and this may or may not be linked to poor ability to metabolise fats. As a result I recently discovered that I actually dont see lots of great results from ketogenic diets. I am for all intensive purposes a moderate carb low fat dieter, it works for me. Keto doesn't. Remember everyone is different.

Of course it may be something else entirely so get it checked out.

I think you're having too much peanut butter for keto-90g peanut butter has about 20-30g carbs in itself. For true keto you need to be at around 20g per day in total carbs.

To give the keto diet a go and see if it works, need to cut all foods with carbs in them, and your total daily carb source will be inherent in the foods you are having (whey protein shakes, eggs etc-are you using whey concentrate or isolate? Concentrate has more carbs than isolate)
Then have a single carb meal once per week to replace muscle glycogen.
