I think your macros are wrong in meals 1, 3, and 6... Your BMR is just under 3000 calories, so if hunger is not an issue then you may be alright, but I would bump the calories up 200-300 and have it come from fat sources... I'm no expert on keto, but I have run them briefly just to see how they affect me and I had to consume maintenance calories and use cardio to burn the fat off...

Why would you go on a calorie deficient diet while juicing? That defeats the purpose of the juice imo... I understand you're looking to show off the new muscle, but you will likely hinder your gains doing this...

would this be best put with the protien shakes? kinda to give em a little more substance

what type of fat sources would you recommend? adding more eggs to meal 1? adding 2tbsp of natty peanutbutter to meals 2&3?

i get where you would see how it would hinder gains but the way i see it is that once i enter ketoisis, energy levels will not be a problem in the gym, so my sessions will be just as intense as always and that from being on a high protien diet lean muscle mass will still be achievable. also with the help of juice i wont have to worry as much about maintaining the mass i already have while in a calorie defecit

bump for experienced opinions on keto while on gear.

I'm curious. It seems counter-intuitive to me as well.

i think your macros are wacked....you should get more calories from fat and less from protein. Also spread out the fat/protein ...not 37g fat for breakfast then minimal incidental fat the rest of the day..... etc....

Energy levels may not be a problem in the gym, but if your workout is intense enough to cause your heart rate to to even a moderate rate, you may burn muscle instead of fat (although on gear I'm not sure if that would be an issue or not?) I'd add the pb to meals 2 and 3 for the extra fat and calories like you proposed. Also, I think it's important to try and eat an equal amount of calories at each meal to reduce any roller coaster effect that may occur otherwise
