Keto Bulking Diet

[justinbrown]

Pardon my incompetence...but is it possible to gain muscle mass/lose fat at the same time whilst on a keto diet, providing the cals are relatively close to maintenance?

if so....could someone provide me with some macro amounts for a typical keto day?

thanks!

*i weigh 183.5 with a BF% of 8

thanks again!

That was a very interesting link in the post he sent.

It might work very well for you.


Overall, keto/ckd is a muscle sparring diet. It's used a lot to lose fat while maintaining muscle but many times people gain muscle while losing fat. Doobie is a good example.

not only is it possible, it's highly likely. And if it wasn't this way, I wouldn't do it. However, you say your bodyfat is at 8%, this is very low and I can't say from experience how well you will drop bodyfat at that low a level while also trying to gain mass. I would say it is unlikely you will gain fat while on this diet.

go somewhere in the 12-14 cal/lb range, depending on whats more important, losing fat or gaining muscle. 13 is a good number.

You can try Lyle's UD 2.0 if youre alraedy at 8%

I think it can work for you to put on muscle and even drop some fat it may just take a couple weeks of adjusting calorie intake to get it right for you then you'll be golden.
