Too much protein will not allow you to stay in ketosis, it's called gluconeogenisis, not that higher protein with ultra low carb does not work for weight loss it's just not allowing your body to use ketones effectively as its converting protein to glucose for energy

I personally train upper body in the AM (fasted) followed by Porridge (70g) mixed Greek Yoghurt (100g) and Whey Isolate (15-20g) and train lower body at 6PM with another Porridge etc 60-90 minutes before, post workout I have a Jacket Potato immediately after followed by sweet potato, chicken etc...

At 1.81m and 68kgs I recommend you buy healthy foods and eat yourself bigger, start eating your body weight in lbs x 15 or 16 (2250 to 2400 kcals) and monitor your body weight weekly, if you gain less than 0.5lb per week on average then up your intake, I would suggest your train each muscle...

AFAIK this comment is incorrect, protein can also break ketosis via Gluconeogenesis - how much protein an individual can consume varies from person to person but I am aware of people than can only consume in the region of 0.4 to 0.5 g of protein per lb of body weight before they have been kicked...

I would be interested in this as have started Keto in the last few weeks to get rid of lower belly stubborn fat and will start a bulk at some point in the next 4 to 6 weeks but wanted to keep this WOE

Better than decline bench IMO

You can get cheap ones on Amazon that you can do yourself, the expensive ones like the Harpenden have to done by someone else. I will check what ones I bought when I get home.

The best method is a dexa scan followed by hydrostatic weighing or a bodpod but in saying that last year I was 170 and bodpod had me ~8% but I would have said I was nearer 12% maybe more (see pic below) so that is not completely accurate either You could always buy a set of body fat calipers...
