Another Keto Question.

[JonathanCSewall]

Well a quick background of me. 29 Male, 160-165lb w/ 24% BF. I workout out 6-7 times a week and play sports as well. Mildly built but with some fat around the mid section. Currently coming off a semi-low carb diet which was ok, but hit a major plateau (1800 kcals). My goal is to be around 145-50.

Below is what Keto-Calculator is giving me:

29/M/5'8" | CW 162 | 25% BF | Very active

* 1895 kcal Goal, a 30% deficit. (1551 min, 2706 max)
* 20g Carbohydrates
* 97g Protein (73g min, 121g max)
* 159g Fat (121g min, 248g max)

Is this an accurate reading or do you recommend something different. I am using MFP for a very long time and I count an track all my macro/micros. Also I will still be working out each day and prob just hit the stairs for 30 mins on a low setting. I don't lift crazy heavy but i do follow a 10/10/10,20/10,20,10 rep range. Just so I hit the type A & B fibers in the muscles.

This is my MFP diet plan all figured out as well:
TOTAL: 1,870 17g 157g 87g 935mg 2,061mg 3g 4g


The carbs are lower by -3g but i also have 4g of fiber as well. Also I am a creature of habit and I can eat the same thing daily, so I will basically just switch out things such as my steak, fish, eggs, etc etc.


Any recommendations regarding the diet, the kcal, or even a workout routine i will gladly accept with open arms. I am here asking for help so I will not reject any offering of help. The more info you can give me the better off I will be.

Hi,

Keep in mind the calculations given by a calculator (or any calorie calculators) are just an estimation, and is not a 100% precise estimation of your needs unless you've tried it and see the results you are looking for. So, picking a number in between the ranges is a good point to start, which you have done so. At this point, you just need to follow the numbers and track your weight/composition. If you lose weight, then great, stick to it! If not you might want to re-evaluate your numbers. Also, just by looking at the scale is sometimes not the most ideal, whereas looking at yourself in the mirror is a more convincing way to yourself that your body is becoming of what you want!

Hope this helps!
