Keto Macros Calculation:

\[ \text{Macros} = \begin{cases} \text{Protein} = \text{Weight (kg)} \times 1.6-2.2 \\ \text{Fat} = \text{Remaining calories to meet deficit} \\ \text{Carbs} = 20-50g \text{ (keto range)} \\ \end{cases} \]

1. What is Keto Macros Calculation?

The keto macros calculator determines your optimal macronutrient distribution for a ketogenic diet with a caloric deficit for weight loss. It calculates protein needs based on your weight, then allocates the remaining calories to fat while keeping carbs low.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses these formulas:

\[ \text{Protein} = \text{Weight (kg)} \times \text{Activity Factor} \] \[ \text{Fat} = \frac{\text{Deficit Calories} - (\text{Protein} \times 4 + \text{Carbs} \times 4)}{9} \]

Where:

Protein — 1.6-2.2g per kg of body weight
Fat — Adjusts to meet caloric deficit after protein and carbs
Carbs — Fixed at 20-50g to maintain ketosis
Deficit Calories — TDEE minus selected deficit percentage

3. Importance of Macros in Keto

Details: Proper macro ratios are essential for entering and maintaining ketosis. Too much protein can inhibit ketosis, while too little fat can leave you hungry and make the diet unsustainable.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your weight in kg, select your activity level, desired deficit percentage, and carb limit. The calculator will show your daily calorie target and macronutrient breakdown.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why high fat on keto?
A: Fat provides satiety and energy when carbs are restricted. It's the primary fuel source in ketosis.

Q2: Can I adjust these macros?
A: Yes, but maintain protein within recommended range and keep carbs low to stay in ketosis.

Q3: What if I'm not losing weight?
A: You may need to increase your deficit slightly or verify you're tracking accurately.

Q4: How often should I recalculate?
A: Recalculate every 4-6 weeks or after significant weight changes.

Q5: Are these macros suitable for everyone?
A: Those with medical conditions should consult a doctor before starting keto.
