Please check my CKD diet

[Paulieb13]

Hello everyone


This is my first post on this forum and I am looking forward to being a part of the community here!

So I have been reading my entire way through this thread and it took some time but I feel it was worth it, I started the CKD Keto diet last Monday and it only took me a couple of days to reach ketosis as my previous diet was a low carb diet.

I have also lost 3.5 pounds already which I Imagen is water but I do feel leaner so that's a bonus.

Here are my stats:

Age: 36
Sex: Male
Location: UK
Weight: 250 Pounds
LBM: 190 Pounds
Height: 5'10"

Here is my daily keto diet


Meal 1: 6 egg omelette with 50g of Cathedral City Cheese fried in Olive Oil

Snack: 25g of Almonds

Meal 2: 2 Essential Waitrose Beefburgers and 30g of Baby Spinach

Meal 3: 4 Waitrose free range pork chipolatas, 50g of Cathedral City Cheese and 30g of Baby Spinach

Meal 4: Waitrose tuna steak in olive oil 180g (in a tin not drained), 2 tablespoons of Mayo and 40g of Baby Spinach

Lift heavy weights lol

Meal 5: 28g of USN IGF-1 (1 scoop), 10g of Waxy Maise Starch and 10g of L-Glutamine

30 Minutes CV then home then bed


Total daily macros using Fitday.com

Cals: 2603
Fat: 191.1g
Carbs: 18g
Protein: 188.6

so that's Fat 67% Protein 30% Carbs 3%


What do you guys and girls think?

Many thanks in advance

You don't need that much fat. Drop it to like 150 and get the remaining balance in protein.

I weigh 249 and that is what I do. I eat 2,500 cals per day. 150g average fat and the rest protein.

excess protein is broken down into carbs...
LBM = 190, protein = 190g per day, so your spot on Paul.
Make sure you stay hydrated (green tea is great for this).
Also make sure your work out is as strong as your diet and you will have no problems

1lb per pound of lbm is the MINIMUM you should get if you are lifting heavily. As long as he is getting enough fat, protein isn't going to breakdown. I'm not talking about him upping it to 300 or something but 191g fat seems like an excess when he could probably use that extra protein. You definitely don't need 191g of fat per day.

I weigh the damn same as he does basically (149) . Same lbm. I get between 140-160g fat 20g carb and the rest protein. @2500 kcal.

I've lost 50 pounds since October on Keto and that includes a 6 week period where I lost no weight, gained muscle, and lost inches on my waist.

Look it probably isn't going to hurt to get 191g of fat but it seems useless to so so.

Thanks for your thoughts guys however you both says different things lol


Anyone else have any input?

This is spot on. As long as you do not up your protein to crazy levels you will be fine, and i agree 191g of fat is quiet a lot. Try keep the fat to 160g and see how you feel and then adjust as you need.

Thou I am new to keto and am in no way an expert I thought if you have to much protein while on keto the body uses the excess protein for energy rather than FFA's???

Looks good to me. I would maybe drop fat a little though, as the other posters have advised. I would also drop the protein, waxy maize and glutamine crap. Also, you don't need to eat this many meals a day if you dont want to. Meal timing is irrevalent.

Thanks for the post, but why drop the PWO shake thought this played a major role in Keto?

Nope, unfortunately it is 90's broscience that hasn't quite gone away yet.
