Cycling Tips
| Macro | % of Total Calories | Example (2 200 kcal) |
|---|---|---|
| Protein | 25 % (≈ 138 g) | Chicken, fish, tofu, whey isolate |
| Fat | 55 % (≈ 134 g) | Avocado, coconut oil, MCT oil, nuts |
| Carbs | 20 % (≈ 110 g) | Low‑glycemic veggies, berries (if keto‑flexible) |
| Variation | When to Use | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Keto | 3‑4 days/week | < 20 g net carbs/day |
| Targeted Keto (TK) | 2 days/week (post‑workout) | 30‑50 g carbs 30 min after HIIT |
| Cyclical Keto (CK) | 1 day/week (re‑feed) | 100‑150 g carbs, focus on legumes & starchy veg |
| Regimen | Schedule | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 16:8 | Fast 16 h (e.g., 8 pm‑12 pm) | Easy to maintain, best for insulin sensitivity |
| 24‑h Fast | 2×/week (e.g., Monday & Thursday) | Can be done from dinner to dinner; stay hydrated |
| 5:2 | 2×/week low‑calorie (600 kcal) | Alternative to full 24‑h fast |
| Meal | Time | Foods | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Breakfast (Lunch) | 12 pm | 2 eggs scrambled in butter, ½ avocado, 1 cup spinach sautéed in coconut oil | 600 |
| Snack | 3 pm | 30 g mixed nuts + 1 oz cheese | 250 |
| Dinner | 6 pm | 8 oz salmon, 2 cups broccoli roasted in olive oil, 1 tbsp butter | 700 |
| Post‑Workout (if TK) | 7 pm | 1 cup cooked quinoa + 1 tbsp almond butter | 300 |
| Total | 2 200 |
Adjust portions to hit your caloric target. Keep a log of net carbs (total carbs – fiber) to stay within 20 g on keto days.

Monthly Milestone (End of Month 3)
| ✅ | Item |
|---|---|
| 1 | Set up Oura, Apple Watch, Muse 2, and Notion dashboard. |
| 2 | Order supplements (NMN, PQQ, CoQ10, Resveratrol, Curcumin, etc.). |
| 3 | Create a 7‑day meal plan with macros and grocery list. |
| 4 | Schedule first strength session (Upper) and HIIT session. |
| 5 | Begin 16:8 fasting (fast 8 pm‑12 pm). |
| 6 | Install Elite HRV app for daily HRV tracking. |
| 7 | Plan a 5‑minute breathing routine for morning and evening. |
This plan is a high‑intensity, data‑driven roadmap. Listen to your body—if you experience persistent fatigue, joint pain, or any adverse symptoms, pause the protocol and consult a qualified professional. Keep a journal of subjective experiences; the qualitative data is just as valuable as the quantitative metrics. Good luck, and enjoy the journey toward optimal longevity and performance!
