In order to eat a ketogenic meal, you naturally have to eat a larger portion of fat. This translates into an elevated E factor in the calculation. This is normal and is to be expected for keto eating. Luckily there is a solution for those keto dieters: water. Just drink more water and the E factor will go down. An average keto meal needs at least 480g of water to raise the energy value.

I spent the first part of my life playing piano and composing music. I graduated from UCLA with a degree in music composition and cognitive science. Then I became a User Interface Engineer for four years. I moved home to Raleigh, NC to be closer to my family and began to freelance. On the side, I created a company called Elemental Nutrition & Wellness that uses interactive resource calculators to give people the tools they need to lose weight and boost nutrition. Now I have my own practice as a holistic nutritionist. I help people meet their weight loss goals by fostering self-motivation. You can reach me at ross@elementalnutritionandwellness.com.
