Day 5 of challenge. Skipped breakfast due to tired or same for 4 days and no substitute for turkey bacon and eggs on hand. Had coconut milk in coffe but should have had more to have proper fat. Made a chicken salad with left over chicken dtc over shredded coleslaw mix. Turned out tasty and filling. I am a liitle confused with protein portion for meal for Keto Challenge cause I thought too much protein at a time can produce enough insulin response to kick me out of ketosis.

Looks like you are doing very well!!! Your food sounds good. Yeah if you skip a meal you should try make up some of your macros at your other meals. As far as protein is concerned I do not think you are close to be in any danger zone with it. I eat a lot more protein than you do. Hope the rest of your days go just as well

@ruthe1213, liv001 knows her keto, so it's good to have her "onboard" with advice. I'll add: Don't worry too much about "technically" being "in ketosis." More important is getting your food in order. Planning your meals at least a day in advance encourages commitment. It's also easier to keep your carbs low and other macros in order if you plan carefully ahead of time. Have a plan is like having a psychological safety net. Also, "skipping breakfast" can be an "opportunity" to develop a habit of intermittent fasting! (If you need to eat in order to take medication, you might be able to shift that to lunchtime.) Maintaining an IF schedule is a *big* step toward ketosis. Be well and don't eect perfection. This is a work in progress!

Since you're a seasoned citizen and obese for a while (like me), there are certain physiological challenges to getting into ketosis. If you're not a T2 diabetic, you may still have a long history of insulin resistance. Search YouTube for Dr. Berry' video, "Weight Loss Stalls on Keto (13 Reasons Why...)." Stall or not, the points he makes will help you polish your strategy. Good luck with this!

Lastly, because we have a lot of extra stored fat, it's advisable to focus on planning low carbs (<20g total) first, protein grams (get that up to 65-75g) second cooked in good fat, and *then* adding fat to "fill in" your calorie need.
