[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You are making no sense. If OP is in calorie deficit her fat stores will be used for energy regardless of how much protein she eats. [/quote]

Actually, we don't know if she is in a calorie deficit. Even OP doesn't seem to know if she is in a calorie deficit as she is not 'capping her calories' and only tracks them.

So...[/quote]

she said "I'm generally consuming around 1400-1600 calories per day" and in another post she mentioned burning about 2500-2600 calories. That sounds like a deficit to me though we do not know if this happens every day. [/quote]

It's really hard to tell whether OP is in a deficit without knowing her height, age etc. We only know her weight, I guess. Anyway, as it turns out OP doesn't aim for weight loss so it's irrelevant.[/quote]

If she really only eats 1400-1600, weighs 180 and works out, she is in a deficit regardless of how old and tall she is. [/quote]
