That's a pretty high level of exercise, and you may be
genetically gifted to gain muscle.  I gain muscle fairly easily
myself, but at 5000 cal/day I gain fat, no matter what I eat.

That was my mistake.  5% of 5000 cal is 250 cal, of course, which
is about 60g of carbs, yes.  Actually, once you are adapted to
ketone use, 60g should just about cover your baseline glucose
needs, I think.  Close, anyway.
