Calculate Your Macro-Nutrients
Food has energy in the form of calories that are in the big three macro-nutrients: Proteins,
Carbohydrates, and Fats. These macro-nutrients provide the majority of the calories we eat. As
you now know, fats carry the most energy. The Ketogenic Diet focuses on eating foods high in
healthy fats as your main source of caloric energy.
You can easily calculate your Macros here. This will tell you how many fat, protein, and
carbohydrate grams you need daily to achieve ketosis. The calculator will ask your weight and
level of activity since the macros vary from person to person. My macros are: 163 grams of fat,
81 grams of protein, and I’m allowed 25 grams of carbs per day. (Remember the 100-calorie
snack packages I mentioned earlier?)
