Note on keto and protein.
I think it's kinda funny how we get about protein. It seems like people are either afraid of having to little or too much. In most fitness communities, especially in regards to resistance training, you'll find people telling you to have as much as a gram per pound of body weight. Or you'll "lose muscle!😱". Than in the keto communities you'll find people telling you to be careful not to have "too much". Or you'll be kicked out or ketosis!😱.
I've decided to stay between 80 and 110. 30 gram difference but it seems to be my comfort range. Based on what I like to eat and how I feel. Some people my size and gender would warn me that that much protein can kick me out of ketosis. Here's the thing. You don't have to be in ketosis every hour of everyday to see results. Stressing over perfection isn't great for weight loss either.

For whatever reason I feel better with a little more protein. I actually lose more weight too.
Bottom line is as much as education and tips can help us. Stressing over reaching the standard may not always be best. We have to experiment and see what works best for our bodies and life styles. 😊Have a Happy Healthy Day ☺
