How Many Carbs per Day to Stay in Ketosis?

As described in my post How Does the Ketogenic Diet Work? Weight Loss and 3 Main Effects of Ketosis, weight loss on a ketogenic diet is achieved by limiting the daily intake of net carbs and getting your body in a metabolic state known as ketosis. While in ketosis, your body effectively uses fat for fuel. In general, the daily intake of net carbs required to enter ketosis could vary from 20 to 100 grams per day. Most people, who have experienced ketosis, claim to have reached that state at about 20-50 grams of net carbs per day. I'd suggest you start at 20-30 grams and see how you can adjust it for your needs.

There are two ways to find your ideal net carbs intake:

Low To High Method

Start from a low level of net carbs to ensure you quickly enter ketosis (~ 20 grams of net carbs per day). When you detect ketosis after about 2-3 days, start adding net carbs (about 5 grams each week) until you detect a very low-level or no ketones (using Ketostix or blood ketone meter). This is usually the most reliable and quickest way to discover your net carbs limit. It could be a bit hard the first couple of days, as you have to give up almost all carbs from one day to another but it will be worth it. This method is highly recommended.

High To Low Method

Assuming you're not in ketosis, start from a relatively high level of net carbs (~ 50 grams) and keep reducing (about 5 grams each week) until you detect presence of ketones. This is a less difficult approach but not recommended, as you may spend a long time out of ketosis before you find your net carbs limit. If you can't see any ketones, be patient. It typically takes 2-3 days for your body to deplete glycogen stores, so don't expect to be in ketosis after just a day of low-carb. Remember, ketosis is a favourable condition and an indication that your body uses fat for fuel but you can lose weight even without being in ketosis. A diet high in fat, adequate in protein and low in carbohydrates is naturally sating, making you less hungry and, therefore, helps you lose weight.

Is Chick Fil A sauce keto-friendly?

To meet your daily macros, try adding a keto-friendly sauce—Chick-Fil-A sauce would bring the total fat up to 16 grams while keeping the total carbs at eight grams, but zesty buffalo, garden herb ranch, ketchup, mustard and hot sauce are all under ten grams of total carbs too.

purewow.com - Can You Eat Keto at Chick-Fil-A? Yep, Here Are 10 Delicious Options

Lucky for you, many items on Chick-Fil-A’s menu are keto friendly as-is or can be easily modified to fit the bill. It’s usually a matter of ditching the bun and ordering grilled chicken instead of breaded (but more on that below). The zesty buffalo sauce and garden herb ranch sauce contain little to no carbs and are a good way to add extra fat to your meal. Order the unsweetened iced tea to wash everything down. (There’s also diet soda and diet lemonade, but keep in mind they’re sweetened with sugar substitutes like Splenda and aspartame.) Just keep in mind that to truly follow a keto diet, you’ll want to be mindful of not just low carb options, but high fat ones as well. (According to proponents of the keto lifestyle, this is crucial to staying in ketosis and running on fat.)
