I am planning to start a ketogenic routine for the next 2-3 months (if it works I will make it a lifestyle). I understand that it is a high fat low carb routine, and the total caloric intake is less than what I burn. For guide, I am following the details listed in this thread - t=156380183. I have two questions:
1. I have a desktop job, I workout in the evening for 1.5~2 hours for 6 days a week, the 7th day being complete rest. So what is my caloric intake per day per kg of my body mass? Is it 31-38, 38-40, or 41-50? In any case, once I get the range (say 31-38, and a median value of 35), multiply it with my mass to find the intake, what role will the activity factor play in determining the intake? Do I multiply the intake with the activity factor? I assume the activity factor for me is 1.5~1.6.
2. Every ketogenic diet says about a carb loading phase, where one day, traditionally the rest day, is high on carbs. However, if I consume lot of carbs one day, won't my body burn those carbs for the rest of the week workouts instead of my body fat, and thus defeat the very purpose of ketosis?

Ketosis caloric intake and carb loading
When you are squeezing those excruciating last few reps, and when three reps are remaining, thinking that it is enough, lemme have some rest, will do it in the next set, you are losing. Those three reps are the passport to that beach body, the key to a better body, in short, where all the magic lies. So go on, squeeze dem!

You don't need to carb load.
Check out the book 'the art and science of low carb performance'. Also check out the article I posited in another thread titled 'low carb diet ideal for body recomposition'.

Pick one, track results. I would use one of the formulas in the nutrition stickies rather than X cals x Y mass, but either way you'll have to track and adjust.Originally Posted by Cupidvogel

Yeah, I am following that. Any idea about what role the activity factor plays in calculating the caloric intake?Originally Posted by MetilHed

Yeah, athletes and very active people need more calories. Desk jockey's should start on the low end.Originally Posted by Cupidvogel

So the calories/kg/day multiplied by my body mass should suffice for now?
