THOUGHT OF THE DAY: We all know that on a "normal" diet we are supposed to eat X amount of calories a day to keep the metabolism healthy. Most people on a ketogenic diet know that their body has under gone a metabolic change that allows their body to "feed" straight off of body fat (even at a resting state) once dietary fat has been used up for energy. Keto dieters also know that they aren't supposed to force feed. So, the question (and my theory) is that as long as you get adequate protein, body fat makes up for the rest of the "needed" caloric intake. In other words, as long as you're getting adequate protein total caloric intake should not be a factor, right?
Any research suggestions or speculation is appreciated. It maybe in the book I'm reading, but maybe I just haven't gotten that far yet.

@Rayvyne, "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living". There is some amazing stuff in there! Yes, Ravyne, I'm learning to listen to the body. I was so hungry before upping my protein. I decided, I'd eat until my body says that's enough, and not worry about it being lean. Then, if I still don't fill "satisfied" or start craving sugar/starches I will add a BPC. I agree, mahjohn. Thanks for sharing!
