Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories should I eat to lose 1 pound per week?
A safe deficit of 500 calories below your TDEE per day equals approximately 3,500 calories per week, resulting in about 1 pound of fat loss.
What is the ideal keto macro ratio?
Standard Ketogenic Diet (SKD) typically targets 70-75% of calories from healthy fats, 20-25% from protein, and 5-10% from net carbohydrates (usually under 30-50g carbs daily).
