This is because your gallbladder, the organ responsible for creating enzymes that break down fat isn't quite as efficient as it should be so you might need to back of the fat to give the little guy some time to adapt. You might also find that all this new found fat in your diet will cause you to experience negative side effects like diarrhea. For that, I simply eat enough protein and consume fat to satiety.
Unfortunately most people don't, at least for some time and they can get negative symptoms.Īs an example, I happen have a few genetic predispositions that make me less tolerant of fat so I feel better on a higher protein to fat ratio. If you happen to be the type of person that sits nicely on this 50:50 split, great! You're all set. Here's the formula to plug your numbers in: So I'm looking at around 175g of each as a starting point. To get a 1:1 ratio of fat to protein in grams, you'll need to get a 70:30 ratio of of fat to protein in calories.Ģ,300 x 70% fat = 1,610 calories of fat which, when divided by 9 = 178 grams.Ģ,300 x 30% protein = 690 calories of protein which, when divided by 4 = 170 grams
There are 9 calories in each gram of fat. There are 4 calories in every gram of protein. I'm 170lb and require 2,300 calories per day to maintain weight according to the app.
As in, for every 1g of fat you eat, you'd eat 1g of protein. These numbers can vary wildly from person to person but we've found a great starting point is a 1:1 ratio in grams. Now that you have a rough number of calories you need per day, the next step to figuring out what your macro needs are on the carnivore diet is to divide your calorie needs into the two main macros you'll be consuming.
