Can I do keto if I am an athlete?
Yes, you can do keto if you are an athlete. The key to success is finding the right balance of macros, or macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and fats) that will fuel your body for peak performance.
For athletes who are engaged in high-intensity activities, such as weightlifting or sprinting, a higher carbohydrate intake may be beneficial. If your activity level is lower, then you may be able to follow a stricter ketogenic diet and still have success. Just remember to always adjust the macronutrients depending on your activity level and goals.
It's important to listen to your body and make sure that you are fueling it with the nutrients it needs for maximum performance.
