I'm considering trying a Keto diet for the first time but am not really sure about some things. First of all, how many carbs are you allowed to have in a day (during the weekdays when you are dieting?). Some of the main sources I get protein from are cottage cheese (4g carb per 1/2 cup) and protein powder (4g carb per scoop). Are these amounts significant amounts of carbs? If I had 1 cup of cottage cheese and 2 scoops of protein powder a day, it would be around 16 carbs. Is this acceptable for a true keto diet?
Also, since you have to eat a lot of fat in this diet, where do you guys get that fat from? What are good sources of good fat?
Should I still be concerned about staying away from all saturated fats?
Thanks

16gs is fine, most people here stick to a celing of 30 grams. make sure you get some fiber though, natural peanut butter is a good idea, 2 grams net, with 2 grams of fiber.
I get the majority of my fat from chicken and beef, the main things i eat. Relativly lean cuts of beef, and chicken legs, so a little more fat, but i perfer the taste, and they work just as well protein wise. Eggs are always good, too.Age: 15

oh hell yeah dude...I totally forgot about peanut butter! WOO HOO!! I always sorta tried to stay away from the stuff because it was high in fat...now that I am aiming to keep the fat intake high, I can chow down...well, sorta. As long as I keep a calorie deficit. Sweeeeeeet...

pb,cream cheese,beef,chicken breasts(With the fatty skin),flax seed oil,olive oil,bacon,butter,tuna,salamon(all kind of fishes),eggs,all kind of cheese (high fat!!)
avoid low-fat products as they often contains sugars! (those are bad while doing keto)
don't take during the day your whey, save your whey to postworkout shake only!! use real food.
once you get how to build a diet menu its kinda easy
you can get a better list of "Acceptable foods" and "Unacceptable foods" at w w w . c-k-d .c o m
