[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to do keto and low carb and read a lot about it. It is my understanding that if you overload on protein (eat more than 1 g per kilo) the protein will indeed be used for energy - but your fat stores won't be! Which means it's not good for losing weight. I think the OP made contradicting statements as to whether weight loss is her goal so I am not sure what route should she take.[/quote] OP here. Did I? I don't think so or didn't mean to. To clarify: My goal is not to lose weight. My goal is to gain muscle, and hopefully lose fat. [/quote] At 20lbs overweight your primary goal should be to lose fat. You are not in a favorable position for muscle gain if you are significantly overweight, but you will still get stronger (if that matters for you) as strength is not strictly related to muscle size. The recommendation for women is to be below 25% body fat before they start focusing on building muscle. [/quote]
