Keto Macro Calculator
Calculate macros for a ketogenic diet based on your stats and goals.
At 2,000 calories with a 30/40/30 split: 150g protein, 200g carbs, 67g fat per day.
Why This Calculation Matters
The Keto Macro Calculator turns a well-known health formula into an instant lookup. It's most useful when you're tracking a number over time or comparing yourself against published reference ranges from bodies like the CDC, NIH, or WHO. Use it as one data point among many, not a diagnosis.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your values in the input fields, each one has a label and help text explaining what to type.
- Results appear instantly as you type; there's no "calculate" button to press.
- Change any input to compare scenarios side by side.
All math happens in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server, saved, or shared.
Reading Your Result
A single number tells you less than a trend. Track this value over weeks or months rather than obsessing over day-to-day variation. Hydration, sleep, and timing can all shift short-term readings without reflecting any real change.

Worked Example
2,000 kcal at 40/30/30 split
- calories
- 2000
- protein
- 30
- carb
- 40
- fat
- 30
- Result
- Protein 150g · Carbs 200g · Fat 67g
40% of 2000 = 800 kcal carbs (200g), 30% = 600 kcal protein (150g) and 600 kcal fat (67g).
