Understanding Ketogenic Macros

KD - M2 - U1 - Understanding Ketogenic Macros

You'll need to correctly answer at least 3 of the 5 questions below (at least 50%) to progress to the next unit.

Question #1: How much fat should you eat on a ketogenic diet?

If you have fat to burn on your body, you should not eat extra fat.
30% of your calories should come from fat.
50% of your calories should come from fat.
65% - 85% of your calories should come from fat.
100% of your calories should come from fat. If it’s not pure fat, it’s not keto!

Question #2: Beginning your new lifestyle with a low-carb diet is a smart and effective way to prime your body for the stricter macros of a ketogenic diet.

True
False

Question #3: Using the net carbs in low-carb foods is:

A way to cheat on your low-carb diet if you’re subtracting out carbs like sugar alcohols or carbs marked as “other.”
Not always the most effective way to get results with keto.
Is typically ok if you’re subtracting out fiber from leafy greens.
Another way food marketers attempt to outsmart unsuspecting consumers following a keto diet.
All of the above.

Question #4: If you perform resistance training on a regular basis, you should:

Double the amount of protein you typically consume on a ketogenic diet.
Eat on the higher range of the protein macros provided. Some people may need to add even a little more protein to their day.
Eat the exact protein macro you calculated every single day. It is never ok to go over or under, even by 1 gram of protein.
Flex in the mirror and in your best Arnold voice proclaim, “I’m going to pump you up!”

Question #5: If you feel stuffed before you hit your fat macro, you should:

Continue to eat fat beyond satiation because you have macros to meet!
Not eat any fat the next day because you clearly overdid it today.
Stop eating. It is important to listen to the signals your body gives you.
Chug from the tub of coconut oil since you heard liquid fat is less filling.
Find some processed carbs to munch on since fat seems to fill you up too quickly.
