Short answer, yes.
Posted Dr Phinney and Volek advice here: http://forum.lowcarber.org/showpost...324&postcount=6. And Dr. Westman's here, http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...212#post9275212

The "metabolic advantage" to LC is small. It comes down to eating just enough fat to be satiated (why the clinic has limits on added fats, no nuts, no drinking BPC, etc) and eliminating non-satiating energy sources (alcohol, aka any empty calories ). The fats found naturally with typical proteins are allowed and with the protein, very satiating. Phinney and Volek define "Moderate Protein" for our height as 14oz...that might be an "increase" for you? https://blog.virtahealth.com/how-much-protein-on-keto/
If you also practice IF as I do, 14 oz of meat is a boatload to have at two meals
