Re: Zinc : Serum vs RBC
Hi Epsilon,
My understanding is that serum or RBC are both acceptable when assessing zinc though will be more accurate when measured in a fasting state. As for magnesium, being an intracellular nutrient serum testing isn't very reliable.

Re: Getting started on ketogenic diet
Hi Smokey, I use an app called Senza, it is a little fiddly at first (what isn't?) but once you get the hang of it will count your carbs, fat and protein.
