Keto says that you should up your fat and protein intake and nearly eliminate your carb intake, replacing something that contains 4 calories per gram with something that contains 9 calories per gram. >true
So who is right? Keto means more fat = more calories = eating more.
You're unlikely to reach a surplus without trying without carbs

I saw somewhere that you are supposed to eat bacon on keto
John Thompson
if you're on keto you can eat all the butter and bacon you want. try it. don't bother counting calories, the laws of thermodynamics don't apply to someone in ketosis

I want to think this is bait, but I literally had this conversation with my dad a few days ago.
Yes fat has more calories, but you'll naturally eat less of it because its more filling, eating 500 grams of carbs is a lot easier than eating 500 grams of protein and fat.

The thing is, fatty food is much more filling than things high on carbs. So it's just that you usually are not able to eat the same amount of calories on keto as you are on carbs.
David Sanders
but 500g of carbs is approximately 2000 calories while 222.2g of fat is the same amount.
Is it really easier to eat 500g of carbs than 222g of fat?
Gavin Moore
Absolutely. Have you tried it?
Mason Scott
no, i have not been convinced to try it (keto in general).
Alexander Perez
I dont think thats a fair comparison, as you'll eat fat combined with protein, 1000 grams of beef has 2500 calories, 260 grams of protein, and 150 grams of fat.
500 grams of potato chips has 2600 calories, 35 gram protein, 250 grams of carbs, and 175 grams of fat.

>fatty food is much more filling than things high on carbs. Actually not. Protein is satiating, but fat isn't. Some 'high-carb' foods are actually pretty filling.
Depends on the carbs. Unsweetened popcorn or boiled potatoes will be difficult to eat 2,000 calories worth of in one sitting. Sweetened breakfast cereal, candy, etc. will be much easier.
Also, fat is very difficult to eat without a carrier. Almost nobody will eat a slab of butter, drink shots of olive oil, etc. It is usually combined with protein or carbs.
Nathan Scott
people say you feel like shit during ketosis so i don't think it's just about hunger
Luis Sanders
OP here.
Still not convinced that keto is effective or makes any sense at all.
