On the subject of Protein and Keto..
all the information i am seeing on protein consumption while on keto mentions not going too high since an excess of protein is converted into glucose.. but conservative sites i see (ie- for non-athletic people looking to drop weight) are recommending 1g per lb of lean body mass and Bodybuilding sites (people who actually know quite a bit about losing weight and retaining muscle) are saying as high as 1.5g per lb of LBM...
For me that puts me consuming 175g to 250g of protein per day... thats certainly not low protein.. I tend to go closer to 250g a day- ill take some extra glucose over losing muscle.. plus i run at the low end on the carbs.
