CKD newbie, would like a bit of guidance...

Hi.

I recently joined a great gym and I am looking to start a CKD diet. I have done some calculations and this is what I think I need. It seems like a lot to me but I am a fair bit overweight (223 lbs) and am 6'4".

Protein - 168.6g
Protein calories - 674 cal
'Maintenance calories' (weight in lbs * 15 - 500) - 2845 cal
Fat calories - 2171 cal
Fat - 241.2g

I am going to go to the supermarket soon and I'd love for someone to make a very quick rough diet. Although the diet requires a lot of fat and protein (from meat etc), is it possible to somehow keep the cost down?

Thank you so much. GordyR's guide was so helpful, as was reading the Keto diet thread.

Jon

Thanks very much drunkenmaster. I went to ASDA today and bought some cheap good quality meat (ASDA Extra Special beefburgers, ASDA bacon etc), eggs, cheese, nuts and vegetable oil. Could you explain what you mean and suggest when you say 'l-carnitine, Co10 Enzyme, a decent multivit, a b-complex vitamin, omega 3 fats'.

Thanks again.

I am actually on CKD, started today. The main thing I am struggling with is eating enough fat. I had bacon and eggs for breakfast, egg omelette with spinach, cheese and bacon for lunch, peanuts in the afternoon and chicken, cheese, broccoli and cauliflower and a bit of garlic mayonnaise for dinner. Will have a protein shake before I go to bed tonight.

Is it ok to not hit your protein and fat targets? I am finding I can only eat so much grease before I feel full and a little bit sick. I think it might be good to get some flaxseed capsules. Is that what people use?

Thanks.
