Could it be possible?

I recently started eating more calories in the morning. I used to eat 1hb egg and 1 oz string cheese until lunch time. But it seems like I am all of a sudden in deep ketosis. In a year I have never sweated Ketones, but this past week at the gym I have been, and STRONG! Could it be because of a bigger Breakfast? I am trying to eat big breakfasts, moderate lunches and light dinners.

Is it weird, or is this possible?

Yes, this is possible. Eating more fat can increase the amount of ketones present.

However, it may be related to something entirely different.

There is not a lot of hard science behind all the issues of burning ketones. Some people never get into ketosis but we know they are burning fat because they lose weight and inches.

So, congratulations and keep up the good work!
