TECHNICAL FAQ
This is the biggest keto myth. For most people, eating high protein (1g per pound of bodyweight) will NOT kick you out of ketosis. Gluconeogenesis is demand-driven, not supply-driven. Eat your protein and stop worrying about it.
Aim for roughly equal grams of protein and fat per day if you're active and building muscle. That might look like 150g protein and 130-150g fat. The old 75% fat recommendation was designed for epilepsy treatment, not fitness.
Focus on zero-carb proteins: eggs (0g carbs), chicken thighs, steak, salmon, and tuna. Greek yogurt is 4-6g carbs per serving. Avoid protein bars and shakes that often have hidden carbs. Three solid protein meals plus a high-protein snack will get you there.
