Protein is an essential macronutrient that must be derived from diet. \u00a0Important to structural and metabolic pathways, it’s crucial to meet minimum daily requirements<\/span>.\u00a0 Fortunately, this is attainable even if you follow a vegetarian or vegan approach to Keyto.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One goal of the ketogenic diet is to derive around 20% of your calories from protein. And while individual protein needs vary, a range of 70-110 grams of protein per day is adequate for most people. This may seem like a lot, but those who eat meat, dairy, and eggs are likely already exceeding this range. Eating too much protein is one of the main reasons why people are not able to get into ketosis.<\/p>\n

Excessive dietary protein may negatively affect ketosis because protein can be converted into glucose. This process, called gluconeogenesis, is commonly encountered by Keyto users who find it difficult to achieve higher Keyto Levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at some sample meal plans containing 90 grams of protein. We’ll also show you the recommended serving sizes for common protein sources.\u00a0 Note the vegetarian option presented in\u00a0example 2. <\/span><\/p>\n
