> Thanks Shani, maybe i am just impatient =) but will take your advice and soldier on and see what happens.
The usual caveats about seeking online health advice apply, but I have been pushing ketogenic diets as a useful tool to get lean, on UKC since 2007 and follow (usually a targeted) keto diet myself still to this day. Sometimes I keep CHO high though, and have the odd blow out if desired (ie I have non-keto times throughout the year).
> Fat loss is encouraging, look noticeably leaner and climbing trousers were falling off so all good.
Clothing is one of the better ways of assessing improvements - trouser beat the mirror in assessing progress as body dysmorphic tendencies can blind us. Also, women can have trouble getting down to and under 15% - and it *can* come at a price!
> Any idea on the myfitnesspal thing?
I never count calories in or out. So many factors come in to play. Not sure how you could compare energy expenditure on slabby routes with a powerful bouldering session on overhanging rock, for example, so not in a position to advise I'm afraid. If training hard and calorie restricting I'd be inclined to keep protein higher than normal.
