Iowagirl,



I think that 10xbw is VERY low for someone who is working out. I think that Jalilah can attest to that. If you were not working out it might be OK but IMO I wouldn't go less than 12x. I may even increase mine to 13-14 if my energy gets low.

In true TKD you would follow the CKD parameters to get your Ketogenic Parameters. Use that for non-TKD days but you reduce your fat calories by 4 x Carbs (= calories from carbs) eaten in your CU on TKD days. Basically that's it in a nutshell.

So for you it would be 1716 daily calories. Lets say your parameter comes up with for Non-TKD day:
protein calories 514 - 30%
fat calories 1106 - 64.5%
carb calories 94 - 5.5%

You eat 25 carbs for your CU (thats 100 calories).
Now you eat on TKD days:
protein calories - same
fat calories 1006 - 58%
carb calories 194 - 12%

Hope this helps. I really think that keeping your percentages true to the parameters is the key to this diet working.
