I'm not just gaining superficial weight but I am noticeably pudgier

[fabregas]

Why?

started on a keto diet in early November and it was going good. Took a trip overseas at the end of december and into january. During that trip the only things I had to eat was literally bread, butter, and water. I ate very little suring the trip.

Started up again 3 weeks ago and I am noticeably bigger around my gut and love handles have grown. Before I could see my abs showing through now, not. :\

I've started to lose a bit of this but I can't help but feel this isnt going like it should. My handles are still bigger than they have ever been.

I moved down from 1700 cals a day to 1600 at the beginning of March and yesterday decided to move down to 1500.

I eat the same thing everyday for numbers of 124g protein, 100g fat, and 15-20g carbs. Should i mess around with the numbers a bit?

I'm never sapped of energy and I havn't done a "carb up" since the end of january.

Hows your water intake and sodium intake?

Hows your water intake and sodium intake?

I've got a container of water i drink out of 4 times a day that is 32 ounces. And the only sodium I take it comes from a serving of peanut butter and serving of dressing I use. Everything else, like my butter, is sans-sodium.

what is your height/weight/age? find your bmr + activity first. Then take 25% of that out, that should be your cal's in. If that doesn't work, try palumbo's diet (35%fat/60%protein/5%carbs). No refeeds but you get 1 cheat meal a week
