These calculators rely on your accurately reported age, gender, height, weight, estimated body fat percentage, desired calorie deficit (to maximize weight loss), and desired maximum carbohydrate intake (we generally recommend 20 net grams of carbohydrates or less per day). So where do you start? Well, as was stated in our What Is Keto post, your Macros can be determined using freely available macronutrient calculators on the web (we like Ruled.Me). While these are important to begin to understand to avoid vitamin deficiencies and maximize your health through diet, the majority of the focus in this post will be on Macros rather than Micros. This consists of the electrolytes such as Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, and Sodium, vitamins and minerals, and the breakdown of the different types of fats and carbohydrates in your food. This term is used as an umbrella for the further broken down components of the food you eat every day. Another term you may become familiar with is Micronutrient, or “Micros”. In the ketogenic diet, knowing what your daily macro allowance for each of these groups is vitally important to your success. Macros are broken down into four main groups: Calories, Fats, Carbohydrates, and Protein. I suspect if you are here, you don't like them either.Macronutrient, commonly referred to as “Macros”, is the umbrella term for the major nutritional components of the food you eat every day. It's time consuming and irritating! readers, yeah I know about Wellobe but it's a locked universe, it's owned by the Schibsted propaganda outfit + they are actively against Keto. Some foods that are not popular there, I have simply have to enter manually. When using Carb Manager and any other sites, I have to either try to "translate" everything to British foods/brands. I need to be able to add food that is available in local supermarkets here. All other food logging sites have either only USA or US/Canada/UK. MFP has the food data banks from across continental Europe.

I'm a big Garmin user and use a watch and scales from them.

MFP is the only food logging site that I know of, that syncs into Garmin. Yeah - I'm not a massive fan, but there are some solid reasons why I'm using that, and not the alternatives that people suggest, like Cronometer - which I checked a while back: To everyone who says MyfitnessPal is etc:
