Details: Proper macronutrient balance is crucial for maintaining ketosis, which promotes fat burning and weight loss. The 70/25/5 ratio helps women achieve and sustain nutritional ketosis while creating a calorie deficit for weight loss.
Tips: Enter your target daily calorie intake for weight loss. The calculator will automatically compute your recommended fat, protein, and carbohydrate grams per day. For best results, consult with a healthcare professional to determine your appropriate calorie intake.
Q1: Why 70/25/5 ratio for keto?
A: This ratio helps maintain ketosis by keeping carbohydrates very low while providing adequate protein and sufficient fat for energy and satiety.
Q2: How do I determine my calorie needs?
A: Calorie needs vary based on age, weight, height, and activity level. Use a TDEE calculator or consult a nutritionist for personalized recommendations.
Q3: Can I adjust these ratios?
A: Some individuals may need slight adjustments based on metabolic response, but the 70/25/5 ratio is a good starting point for most women on keto.
Q4: What if I'm not losing weight?
A: Ensure you're tracking accurately, consider adjusting calories, and be patient - weight loss may take several weeks to show significant results.
Q5: Should I track net carbs or total carbs?
A: Most keto diets track net carbs (total carbs minus fiber), but this calculator provides total carbohydrate guidance.
