Keto and FT can it work ?

You're welcome!

My answer would depend on whether you simply want to experiment with a lack of carbs or you want to stay in a ketogenic state per se.

Too much protein can disrupt ketogenesis, but I would suggest keeping the protein high and adding a substantial dose of glutamine (e.g., 20g if no GI distress) to the intra-shake. Glutamine can serve as a source for glycogen resynthesis in skeletal muscle.

You can use MCT's as well, but they can cause GI distress, too if doses are too high. MCT's bypass the potentially rate-limiting step in oxidation of fats involving L-carnitine acyltransferase, so they can be used more rapidly as fuel during exercise than can long chain fatty acid-based fat sources.

Within limits, you could replace the kcal you remove from carbs with a combination of MCT and glutamine which could serve to provide fuel and fuel stores during and after training, respectively.

Would this be the second best option after the standard intra protocol that you prescribe with carbs etc?
