How is my diet?

[dhochoy]

I follow a high-protein ketogenic diet and I'm trying to cut (while also building muscle) so I keep my caloric intake between 2000-2500 a day. I usually burn at least 500-600 calories exercising.



Here's a simple of what I usually eat:

Breakfast

3 brown eggs w/ turkey sausage and bacon (seasoned with salt, black pepper, and granulated garlic). Ratio keto-friendly yogurt and a cup of ground coffee w/ premier protein.

Lunch

8 oz ground turkey (seasoned with salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, red pepper, and browning) or 2 chicken drumsticks (seasoned with salt, black pepper, paprika, and sugar-free bbq sauce), 1/3 cup of sardines, 1 scoop of isopure powder, and catalina crunch with almond milk. This is my pre-workout meal.

Dinner

8 oz steak (seasoned with salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, and red pepper) or salmon (seasoned with salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, and paprika), roughly a cup of veggies (usually seasoned with salt and pepper), a medium avocado, and 2 tea bags of ginger tea. Post-workout meal.

Snack

I try to avoid snacking as much as possible but I usually have either a mozzarella cheese stick or some nuts.



So overall... what y'all think of my diet? Is it healthy or does it need work?

What is your weight doing? That will tell you if your fatloss diet is working or not. Whether you'll build any muscle simultaneously will be questionable.

I try to keep it around 140g of fat, 170 - 200g of protein, and less than 50g of carbs.

That's so broad a question that it's near meaningless without specific context.

as long as you get enough protein in and a minimum of good fat it's fine.

Health wise you can narrow down with: how you feel, blood work and if you’re noticing improvements otherwise.

For example, if your labs show you’re alright but you’re suddenly getting allergies or eczema that’s an indicator health wise it’s not beneficial to you. Everyone’s body reacts differently.

Well after the diet, I started to feel more focused and able to get in a good workout. I also checked my blood pressure and it was fine. Haven't had my blood work done tho.

I would replace the sardines with oysters.

Weekend before last I had half a dozen raw oysters every day for four days in a row. I'd wake up a few times at night and Mr. Happy was at full attention.

I had stopped them for a while (didn’t feel like going in to order any)….never again. For those who haven’t tried you must!!!

Even Gordon Ramsay swears by them!
