Texaspride, on a ketogenic diet with resistance training involved, I'd attempt a strict ultra low carb (under fifty grams not including fiber counts) protocol for the first two weeks. Meals should be comprised of 60 percent caloric intake coming from fats, 35 from protein, and the remainder from green leafy vegetables. Typical meals include eggs, cured meats, fatty cuts of chicken, red meat, and fish, oils and butter, and spinach, broccoli, kale, summer squash, etc. Avoid all refined sugar, starches, flours, and the like, and remove those protein bars from your diet. Continue to train as usual focusing on heavy weight with lower reps. After the initial two weeks, incorporate a refeed day where fats and protein remain moderate while consuming a high amount of carbohydrates to restore glycogwn levels to prepare you for the low carb workouts ahead. At you weight, you should be able to consume 2500 to 3000 calories while still losing fat at a good pace. Monitor your caloric intake, but focus on the macronutrients as the core of your diet planning. Drink plenty of water and be prepared for gastrointestinal issues...these are facts of life in the first stage of this type of diet. You can expect to lose approximately 15 to 20 pounds in the first two weeks, most of which will be water weight, but even after carb refeeds you should continue to drop fat at a decent clip. Good luck and message me if you have any questions or research "CKD" or "anabolic diet" for further info.
