Confused by value % & #s (new to keto diet)
Hi :)
My confusion is this:
I had read u need 5% carbs, 20% protein & 75% fat for ketosis.
Then i did the online ketosis calculator & that worked out to 20 g of carbs, 58 g of protein & 80g of fat, & 1032 calories.
But when i went to set it up in the macros settings with those grams/percents, it wouldn’t give me those figures so i’m confused. It has me at 6g of carbs a day (which feels very low), 39g of fat & only 31 protein (again seems very low). Can someone please explain this to me.

Maybe i posted this question in the wong topic😕I’ll copy & paste it to keto topic.

I am having the same problem, not sure where or how set anything on this app, so confusing, ppl say just eat but I tried that at the beginning and when I feel like crap I don’t know what it was that caused it, this diet is driving me NUTS!

David did u go the settings & then click on macros tab in top right corner & then set your values 5%carbs 25%protein70%fat? It will also ask u on that page what ur weight lose goal is per week & tweak it to fit ur goal. U also have to make sure u set up ur info in the profile setting, age, weight, height etc, then the app can calculate the correct grams of carbs/protein/fat for u in ur daily log, where u enter every food u ate (portion as well) & the chart will show u how much more carbs u can eat, proteins & fats...!
