Examples for Keto & Low-Carb Fitness
What is BMR and TDEE?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) represents the number of calories your body needs at rest to maintain essential functions. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) considers your activity level and represents the total calories you burn in a day, making it essential for managing your weight on a keto diet.
How to Adjust Your Keto Diet Based on BMR/TDEE
Once you know your BMR and TDEE, adjust your macronutrient ratios accordingly. For fat loss, aim for a calorie deficit, while ensuring adequate protein for muscle maintenance, particularly during the adaptation phase of a keto diet.
Electrolyte Management on Keto
When following a keto diet, electrolyte management becomes crucial due to changes in water retention and excretion. Make sure to include adequate sodium, potassium, and magnesium to avoid symptoms of the 'keto flu' and maintain performance.
