Tips for tracking: • Use a food scanner app to get exact carb counts • Weigh your food for accuracy • Track every ingredient, including sauces and toppings • Stay under 20-50g net carbs per day for ketosis

Avoid these keto mistakes when preparing keto restaurant meals: • **Hidden carbs** in sauces, marinades, and dressings • **Too much protein** — keto is moderate protein, not high protein • **Not enough fat** — aim for 70-80% of calories from fat • **Skipping electrolytes** — sodium, potassium, and magnesium are crucial • **Eating too many keto treats** — sugar-free doesn't mean unlimited • **Not drinking enough water** — keto increases water loss
