I’ve been training around 18m after a break. Some small results but haven’t eaten enough protein. My watch says I burn 1930 calories when resting and 2300 calories/day on average over last year. Like you I struggle to eat 1700 cals/day. Started keto yesterday = 1250 calories eaten including 150g of protein. I think you are saying I need to eat 2300/day but if keto then not via carbs but more fat ?
What is your goal? Are you overweight? Skinny-fat? Trying to gain muscle mass?
If you’re going to eat carbs, make them complex carbs. Fruits and vegetables. As to fat, if you want to get your calorie numbers up, a handful or two of nuts will do that pretty quickly. Excellent job getting that much protein into your daily diet.
Valuable suggestions here, Vic. I appreciate the “real world” experience and it’s definitely guidance worth considering in my workout planning. More resistance training/lifting and a little less running!
