Ensure a balanced fat intake is approximately at 1g /
kg lean bodyweight.

So, a 100
kg person (of
lean bodyweight) should be eating 180 grams of protein.
This article lays out the metrics I most commonly use to quantify how much protein an individual should intake — there is no magic ratio and the needs, preferences, and goals of the individual determine the amount of protein they will likely require on their ketogenic diet which usually lies within a relatively broad range of 1 - 2.5 g /
kg of
bodyweight or.5 - 1g / lb of
lean body mass respectively.
If you're wondering, we recommend 1 gram of protein per pound (or 2 grams per
KG) of
lean body mass, which is your
bodyweight minus how much body fat you have.
Some say 2.75 grams per
kg of
lean mass per day, others say 2 grams per pound of
bodyweight, and then there is the always popular answer to consume 1 gram of protein per pound of
bodyweight.
Levels up to 3g per
kg bodyweight per day (over 3 x the RDA) have been demonstrated to increase
lean body mass, reduce fat mass and improve performance.
