No one is going to answer your question until you give us: 1.) your calorie requirements (http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=121703981) Use that link to calculate your BMR. 2.) Are you male or female? 3.) How many times a week are you lifitng/doing cardio?


PS, you can't gain and lose at the same time; you might want to do some research on that. The question has been asked a million times so if you use the search function you should be able to find some good information. If not, I will reluctantly give you the low-down.

i think you should prolly do some reading in the articles section because i have a feeling you want someone to do all the work for you since you haven't read about keto. if you want someone to go lay everything out for you then you need to pay a coach to teach you how to do it. you need to understand what your doing and not just rely on someone to say eat 200g protein and 150g of fat. what happens next time you want to diet..go and ask the forums again? not tryin to be mean but we were all there and we all did our research. if you have specific questions about it, we would be happy to answer but i think you need to do a lil more research first man

Hi, this is the diet I am doing right now. It's boring because it has lots of eggs. But, however whole eggs are one of the most affordable foods for the ketogenic low-carb Dr. Atkins diet
