Keto diet is not just about keeping a low carb diet. Food quality and nutrient density are just as important as the amount of carbs consumed. So when on a keto diet knowing to track macro is more important than counting calories.

If you are thinking what macro is: It is actually the building blocks of nutrition. You probably know them better as carbohydrate, protein, and fat. Macros are the nutrients you need in large amounts, as they provide your body with the calories it needs to function.

For your body to enter ketosis, you will need to follow a low carb and high-fat meal plan so your body starts burning ketones as a primary energy source. Most people consume roughly 75% of calories from fat, 20% from protein, and 5% or less from carbohydrates.

These are only rough guidelines. Your specific macros depend on your body type, activity level, and weight loss objectives. So do consult your doctor/dietitian. Since Keto Diet is not just about losing weight at any cost; it’s about adopting a healthier lifestyle.
