How is my current Keto plan?
I have been following the current plan for a few weeks and after reading more materials and boards I am wondering if my plan needs an adjustment.
LBM~ 160
Weight to lose to reach max ideal weight range ~100lbs
My current plan is "officially" 1100 calories on 70/25/5. I say "officially" because sometimes i have a 200 or so calorie "cheat" with just fat and protein (like extra meat) but not more than that.
My exercise plan is 7 days cardio usually zumba or a les mills class that focuses on cardio(attack,combat,step) and is about 90-120 minutes depending on my mood. and I try to add in 30-40 min weight lifting if i have the time prior.
I use fitbit religiously and my average burn is 3400 since last month.
I do notice that my current plan's protein is slightly lower than the .5*LBM protein (70ish to ~80) but is that still OK to keep my muscles or lack there of?
In terms of how i feel I feel great or rather "still the same" since i started keto maybe because i was eating a lower carb diet for a while (but not full blow keto) so the change was not a drastic change for me. When I exercise I feel decent. In terms of hunger I am only craving for food during dinner time probably because i usually have it around 8 after work+gym so I am assuming that's natural...
So my question is should i keep this up or do "wait and see"? FYI i have lost 20lbs since 3/9 when i started the keto induction and seriously keeping track of my intakes...
