Too many carbs? Fats? I'm confused!

  • I've tracked my last week of IP food on MyFitnessPal. I read that we're supposed to be between 20-30 carbs/day. Does anyone know the numbers we need to stay within?

    As an example, here's my past two days:

    Day One:
    B: Vanilla Pre-Made Drink
    L: Vegetable Chili with 2 cups Zuchinni
    D: 8 oz Crab Meat, 2 egg whites, 1 cup rhubarb
    S: Butterscotch Pudding, 2 egg whites, 1 cup Kale
    Totals are 622 calories, 41 carbs, 7 fat. (My lowest day)

    Day two:
    B: Coffee, 2 packets stevia, Chocolate IP Muffin/Pancake
    L: 1 Cup Mushrooms, 1 Cup Green Bell peppers, IP Herbs and Cheese Omelet
    D: 8 oz 90/10 Ground beef, 2 cups kale
    S: Crispy Cereal, 2 egg whites
    Totals are 1024 calories, 43 carbs, 28 fat.

    (These numbers include the 2 tbs of oil)


    My carbs range for the week, from 27-43. My calories also range, from 622-1113.

    Are we supposed to be within certain numbers? I only worry because I've been on the diet over a week and still do not feel the signs of ketosis.
  • ketosis does not matter
  • Everything you posted looks fine, the only thing I noticed is that you are adding the 2 egg whites more than once - two egg whites per day is a freebie but they are not unlimited. That shouldn't have much of an impact overall, but it's something to be aware of. There are no ranges give to us, because everything is already worked out in the protocol for us - if you are following your protocol sheet you are fine. I've tracked on myfitnesspal.com just to get in the habit for maintenance, and I find that I am usually in the 700-950 calorie range, and 20-40g carbs per day.
