Temporary switch out of keto for holiday

Hi all,

Also posted this on my original post but I'm fairly new to Reddit and didn't realise that post would stay buried in the archives.

I'm a skinny fat newbie who's been doing TKD for about 4 months, and already gained a couple of kgs. Prior to doing keto I was on the paleo diet for migraine control (eating approx 100g carbs a day) and so somewhat fat adapted already.

I'm just about to head off into the jungle on the adventure of a lifetime and where I'm going can't cater for special diets so i've had to slowly wean myself back onto paleo friendly carbs, and right now I'm up to eating an even split of calories from carbs and fat, which works out about 250g carbs a day.

I will be going straight back to keto when i return in august and am definitely looking forward to it as I feel quite bloated from all the starchy veggies I'm eating now.

My question is - should I also have upped my protein while doing this? Or am I OK to keep that the same as when I was on keto?

Look forward to your replies!
