I have read Cordains recommendations on macronutrients and more specifically the types of nutrients. It reminded me of a modern prescription diet, nothing too radical except for the ratio of macronutrients are not quite food pyramid. It would hardly be capable of being a ketosis diet. More to the point though is how do you estimate your macronutrient levels? Do you weight your portions and compare charts? Do people keep food diaries or some record of consumption or is there a fair amount of guess work? I know that researchers and authors might need to be pretty specific but is that very common with people on this diet? >So Cordain overdoes his protein recommendations.
