Reason I think your protein might be low - If you are having 50-65 g protein on a ketogenic diet, some of that protein is being turned into the bare minimum glucose, then your body might still be hungry for protein for repair. Especially if the protein has missing essential amino acids (the ones we can't generate).

it's a different way of thinking about protein with a keto diet - adding extra protein for gloconeogenesis along with the regular protein for rebuilding.
