Let's Talk Macros
DISCLAIMER: I am not a doctor, trainer, or any other kind of professional in regards to a ketogenic diet. Everything you read below is based on my personal research and opinions. We’ve all heard of counting calories and before I get into the rest, for ME, I have found this to be almost as important as counting carbs. But I get ahead of myself. The macros are carbs, calories, protein, and fat. ALL of them are important. I am not a nutritionist and only know what worked for me so you need to figure out your macros on your own. There are many websites that will help you calculate your goals. Just search “macro calculator for keto” and you’ll find several options. First and foremost, you need to watch your carbs. If you’re aiming for 20-30 carbs, that’s probably a good start. I started there and it worked well for me. As I got further into it, I dropped and most days am well under that but it’s not necessary to do that. The goal is to get your body into ketosis. Again,
