Keto Calculator: Calculate Your Macronutrient Goals

Low Carb / Keto Resource

Use this Keto calculator to determine your macronutrient levels. This will be your best method for reaching and maintaining nutritional ketosis.

I highly suggest using the Keto Gains calculator.

Before starting, please make sure that you understand that:

Carbs are a limit. Do not eat above your carb allowance daily. This will ensure ketosis.
Protein is a goal. Your main priority. Always strive to hit your protein macro goal each day. You can eat more protein if desired.
Fat is a lever. Eat as much as you need to feel satisfied and energized. Not a goal. Eat less to lose more. Eat more to gain.

If you've ever heard somebody tell you to "track your macros," this is the first step.

Please start by entering your information below.

Tracking Your Macros

It's important that you track your macros -- at least temporarily -- until you can get a feel for the amount of food you can eat. My favorite way to do this is with an app on my phone called My Fitness Pal. You can look up millions of different foods, create recipes, scan barcodes and more. I highly encourage you to check it out.

Others prefer to use plain old pen and paper, and that's completely fine.

Remember to re-check your macros with the Keto Calculator as you lose weight. This is integral as your dietary needs will change over time.
