So far it looks like I will soon get down to eating less than 20 carbs ... but I am not sure, yet, what I need to do at the same time, to eat that many calories.

So, my question is ... what do I need to eat to consume less than 20 carbs, and at the same time eat up to 3000 calories ... can someone advise me as to what are appropriate foods to manage this? ...


Answer: "More fat please!" One of the great pleasures of LCHF/keto, for me, is butter on practically everything!

Heavy whipping cream, butter, and ghee (clarified butter, milk solids removed), and pure coconut oil are 99-to-100% fat and, at 9 calories per gram (4 more than protein or carbohydrate), will increase your calorie intake.

Real full-fat cheeses (with no additives like sugar/starch) will increase calories, fat, and protein. However, you want to moderate protein consumption since, on a low-carb diet, the liver will convert protein to glucose via "gluconeogenesis."

Research varies, but the definition of "moderate" protein ranges from 0.5g to 1.25g per kilogram of body weight, depending on your body's sensitivity to protein. If you want to lose weight on a LCHF diet but you're not, consider reducing protein while increasing fat.


I agree! But you need to accept first that fat is not evil and to learn what kind of fat suits your diet.
