FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a Keto diet?
A ketogenic (keto) diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. It forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates.
How many carbs should I eat?
To stay in ketosis, most people need to limit their net carbohydrate intake to 20-30 grams per day.
How is protein calculated?
Protein targets are usually set based on lean body mass to prevent muscle loss while cutting fat. This calculator uses a standard multiplier based on your activity.
