What are macros?
It is short form of macronutrient and refer to the major nutrients in our diet that provide calories:
• Carbohydrates: Found in foods like bread, pasta, rice, fruits and vegetables.
• Protein: Found in foods like meat, fish, eggs, dairy, beans, lentils, etc.
• Fat: Found in foods like oil, nuts, seeds, butter, etc.
What is keto?
Keto is a very low-carb, high-fat diet. In this diet you need to reduce your carb intake and forced to rely on fat for energy instead of carbs. This puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis. When this happens, your body becomes incredibly efficient at burning fat for energy. A keto diet can help you lose weight and may improve several health conditions. But it’s difficult to follow and it’s not suitable for everyone.
The typical keto diet gets about 75% of its calories from fat, 20% from protein, and just 5% from carbs. You cut your carb intake to less than 50 grams per day to induce ketosis.
How Keto Macros Calculator Works?
The calculator uses the Harris-Benedict equation to estimate BMR, which takes user’s information like gender, height, weight, and age. Then TDEE is calculated by multiplying BMR by a factor based on the user’s activity level. It uses the recommended macronutrient ratios for a keto diet based on the selected goal to calculate the required protein, carbs, and fat in grams per day.
