1. What is the Keto Macro Calculator?

The Keto Macro Calculator helps determine the optimal distribution of macronutrients (fat, protein, and carbohydrates) for weight loss on a ketogenic diet. It uses the standard keto ratio of 70% fat, 25% protein, and 5% carbohydrates.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

\[ Fat = 70\% \times \frac{Calories}{9} \] \[ Protein = 25\% \times \frac{Calories}{4} \] \[ Carbs = 5\% \times \frac{Calories}{4} \]

Where:

\( Calories \) — Total daily calorie intake
\( 9 \) — Calories per gram of fat
\( 4 \) — Calories per gram of protein and carbohydrates
\( 70\% \) — Recommended fat percentage for keto
\( 25\% \) — Recommended protein percentage for keto
\( 5\% \) — Recommended carb percentage for keto

3. Importance of Macro Tracking for Keto

Details: Proper macro distribution is essential for maintaining ketosis, promoting fat burning, and achieving weight loss goals on a ketogenic diet.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your total daily calorie target. The calculator will automatically compute your recommended daily intake of fat, protein, and carbohydrates in grams.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why 70/25/5 ratio for keto?
A: This ratio helps maintain ketosis by keeping carbs very low while providing adequate protein and sufficient fat for energy.

Q2: Can I adjust these ratios?
A: Some individuals may need to adjust based on activity level, metabolic health, or personal preferences, but 70/25/5 is a good starting point.

Q3: How do I determine my calorie needs?
A: Use a TDEE calculator to estimate your maintenance calories, then create a deficit for weight loss (typically 300-500 calories below maintenance).

Q4: What if I'm not losing weight?
A: Ensure you're accurately tracking food intake, consider adjusting your calorie deficit, and make sure you're staying within your carb limits.

Q5: Are these macros suitable for everyone?
A: Individual needs may vary based on activity level, health conditions, and goals. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
