Peanut butter, olive oil, hemp seeds, chia seeds and flaxseeds all good sources of fats

love your meticulous planning. 500g protein is no joke. 300 is a strain for me. keep killing it man. I'll keep leaning.

@superman fats are where I want them already. Don't need a heart attack with +200g fats a day 😂🤣
@petra#56 I love cottage cheese, and I thought of adding it in but unfortunately I don't digest it well at all.
Thanks for the suggestions

HeBrewZ, I'm at just over 350g protein now and it's hard without adding in protein shakes. I may have a hard time with digestion at 500g if that's the case then I'll have no choice but to raise carbs back up. I've never done low carb and want to give it a shot, but it's turning out to be more of a hassle hitting the macros and calories needed.

That's how I got super lean before. 150g seems to be my number for carbs. But I lift heavier with 300 😁😁

And 500 g protein would have my farts unbearable. 😂

Don't forget about the thermic effect of food. Those macros would put you closer to 3100 calories. Sounds expensive, lol. I think I get like 160-180 right now.

I’m with Kenna…that’s a lot of protein…probably more than the body needs or can handle. If you already burn calories so effectively why not stick with healthy carbs and fats?
|
@kenna Morton as of my blood work on Dec 6th mine kidneys were fine. How are yours doing?

Hk3 at what point would healthy fats not be healthy. 60g -80g is Dr recommended. These macros are already double that. When would my lipid profile start to shift to the unfavorable side of things? I'd rather not be able to take a shit from the protein then have a heart attack in the middle of the gym. I'm trying to get away from my normal 400g of carbs just to see what the low carb will do to my body

@rubenboxingdude not going keto, just trying to lower carbs , while coming out of a deficit.

Benefits of eating more than 2.5g per kg are negligible. If your urine gets foamy cut it back. One glass of red wine is healthy…why not 8?
|
Diablo had a good point about the thermo effect of that much protein. with the 2.5g fat per kg would be roughly 202g fat which isn't far off from these macros. I could push the fats up a bit to make the difference. My kidneys are fine, but my liver is always in the upper range on my blood work. So 8 glasses of wine might not be the best idea 🤣 .

I was referring to 2.5g/kg protein. You’ll burn the fats just like you’ll burn the carbs with your level of activity. Remember, Diablo prioritizes protein and lets fat and carbs fall where they may. I’m not totally opposed to that line of thinking…we would just get our calories from different sources. I think if you eat too much protein and more fats the side effect could be greater satiety and it may be difficult to eat the calories required to maintain…you’ll find yourself dropping more weight. May not be keto but it sounds a lot like Atkins. Just my thoughts.

how you going about this change. And what has convinced you this is a must while on maintenance?

@crystalpowers I'm trying to keep fats where they are at.
