Daily diet/eating journal

[Jacques]

If you are looking for a good tool to help you get in Ketosis (are you eating too much protein, too much carbs or not enough fat) or/and if you don't know how much proteins/carbs/fat a specific food contains, that tool would help you quite a lot.

Very easy to use once you have recorded a couple of meals. It is free and it gives quite a lot of infos. Moreover, if you don't find a specific product, you can add it to the bank. It takes me no more than 2 minutes per day to enter my info.

Here's the link for the English version: _http://www.fatsecret.com/

and for the French version: _http://www.fatsecret.fr/

And if you don't know how much protein you should eat: _http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/

I like that very much. I began to calculate everything manually but now I take about 10 min. a day to do that.

This helps me a lot to understand. I had a feeling that I was eating too much protein and not enough fat.

FATSECRET confirmed to me in the first two days that I was eating too much protein.

With fatsecret, I know that I am eating enough fat (thrice more fat than protein).
I have taken my blood keto test and I am in ketone.

Thanks for sharing, Gandalf.

I have one question about exercises, if I do physical exercises, I should increase the protein intake. But when I should add extra protein, before the exercises or after, in between of my meals or I should just add to my daily meal some extra protein (because it is not allowed to go over 25gr of protein per one meal) ? Maybe someone can give an advice on this subject.

I would increase protein mainly after exercise, however make sure there is not more than 35g per meal. So you might have to spread it over the day.

Thanks, nicklebleu. I did so today and feel much better then when I ate before the exercises.

Thanks, Gandalf! Those tools combined are really helpful.
I'm having too much protein too. I entered what I ate so far and need to eat 100 grams of fat before bedtime :/

Hi Serg, you do weight training exercises?It is important to consider the daily protein according to weight, and of course the amount of ejericcio that is done, the recommendation is no more than 25g of protein per meal, in order not to stimulate the mitochondria to use sugar as fuel.

As experience, to go through some problems when you start exercising with weights, was not getting the amount of daily protein, and this was causing me much tired, sleepy, low sugar, etc. my recommendation would be, be careful not only with the amount of protein per meal, but with the daily total, the body to recover from the breakdown of muscle, you need enough protein.

Hi riclapaz, yes i do weight training exercises, and increasing the amount of the little by little. I'm almost 1.8m tall and my weight is 58-60kg (I didn't have weight changes, I guess for 2-3 years since I switch to ketosis), according to the site that Gandalf share I don't have to go over 71 protein per day (I have sedentary work).

Yesterday I did exercises and then have 29-30 proteins in my meal after it.
Today a little bit less. I don't have a ketone-meter in order to see more correctly how it works for me.
