how many grams of fat should i eat on keto diet
According to Dr. Perlmutter in his book Grain Brain, our Paleolithic ancestors ate a diet of approximately 75% fat, 20% protein, and 5% carbs. So let's say you wanted to eat 1600 calories a day, this looks roughly like 20 grams of carbs, 80 grams of protein, and 133 grams of fat. You don't want to eat too much protein because the process of gluconeogenesis will convert excess protein to glucose and will sabotage your low carb / ketogenic efforts. If you weigh 80 kilograms (a quick google search for a pounds to kilograms converter is a good idea here), eat 80 grams of protein daily.
