How to Calculate Macros for Low Carb Diet
Calculating macros for a low carb diet is crucial for weight loss and overall health. Here’s how to do it…
- Enter your weight in kilograms.
- Set your desired protein and fat percentages.
- Click ‘Calculate’.
The calculator uses the following formulas:
Calories = (Weight * 10) + (6.25 * Weight)
Protein (g) = (Weight * Protein%)
Fat (g) = (Weight * Fat%)
Carbs (g) = Calories – (Protein + Fat)
| Weight (kg) | Protein (%) | Fat (%) | Calories | Protein (g) | Fat (g) | Carbs (g) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 70 | 25 | 30 | 1,875 | 175 | 210 | 131 |
| Protein (%) | Fat (%) | Carbs (%) |
|---|---|---|
| 25 | 30 | 45 |
- Track your macros daily.
- Adjust as needed based on hunger and fullness.
- Consult a healthcare professional before starting any diet.
