I know the way complicated keto macros may also be!

0:00 Keto macros may also be complicated, however I’ll explain them
4:58 Even if lowering your choice of foods, stay the grams of carbs the similar
5:58 Ratio your quantity of protein relying on what number of foods you devour
6:36 The quantity of fats is the wild card!
Other folks get perplexed about keto macros on a ketogenic nutrition and intermittent fasting plan. Right here’s what I imply through keto macros: the chances of carbohydrates, proteins, and fat. Chances are you’ll really feel perplexed after I get started explaining, however watch till the tip; I’ll transparent it up.
Keto macros are given as 5 p.c carbs, twenty p.c proteins, and seventy 5 p.c fat. Once we upload in intermittent fasting, this confuses the whole thing since you pass from 3 foods in line with day, to 2, to 1. The chances trade.
Let’s say you devour 1,800 energy overall energy on 3 foods in line with day; 1,500 on two foods; 1,200 on one. Energy scale back rather of their very own accord, the less foods in line with day you devour. As you scale back the frequency of your consuming, you keep extra vitamins from the volume of meals you devour. The chances of keto macros then trade. Plus, it’s truly onerous to devour 1,800 energy in only one wholesome keto meal in line with day!
Any other variable is the proportion of non-starchy greens reminiscent of leafy vegetables that you just’ll devour, which aren’t incorporated within the share of alternative carbs reminiscent of carrots, beets, and avocados, for instance.
Preferably, on 3 foods an afternoon, you’ll have a complete in line with day of ten cups of greens. You’ll be able to divide the 10 cups through 3 foods on your quantity in line with meal. Whilst you pass to 2 foods in line with day, your frame is extra environment friendly, so you’ll scale back the greens to 8 cups in line with day or 4 cups in line with meal. Whilst you get to 1 meal in line with day, you’d devour a complete of 7 cups of greens. As you scale back your choice of foods, your frame metabolically adapts and holds extra vitamins from every meal.
If you’ll stay your carbs to 20 or fewer grams in line with day, that will be supreme, and this is applicable whether or not you’re eating 3, two, or one meal in line with day. It’s the entire grams of carbs this is essential. Thirty grams or fewer is suitable; twenty is perfect.
For protein, intention for 4 oz. in line with meal if you happen to’re eating 3 foods in line with day; 5 in line with meal if two foods in line with day; 8 oz. for one meal in line with day.
As for fats, whilst you first get started keto and intermittent fasting, you’re going to wish extra fats. As you move, you’ll want to devour much less fats as a result of your frame is consuming its personal fats. The easiest way to pass judgement on how a lot fats you wish to have is according to your starvation. Consume sufficient fats to stay you relaxed complete between foods however no longer such a lot that you’re feeling filled. On reasonable, you’d devour 140 grams in line with day if you happen to’re eating 3 foods; 113 grams if two foods; 86 grams if consuming one meal in line with day.
The meal plans on my web site, beneath Recipes, have already got those keto macro quantities constructed into them.

Thank you for staring at!
Keto macros may also be truly complicated!
KEY: dr berg’s keto nutrition
Has the calculator come out yet?
Great Explanation. Very easy to understand.
Thank you, Dr. Berg. This helped answer questions coming up in my first weeks of keto. The video gives clear guidelines to use as a target. Remain a bit unclear about net carb counting, but interpreting the video as saying counting all carbs rather than net carbs is the way to calculate the 20-50/day. I had been using net carbs for starchy and non starchy veg to get to 25-30.
As someone who followed conventional medicine’s diet guidelines all my adult life—a diet of low carbs high fat is an unexplored universe that feels like George Costanza’s doing the opposite.
I can attest that following those conventions, I maintained a healthy weight with difficulty for the most part, but unknowingly damage was being accrued to bones and arteries as I now am being informed.
Because I have tried some other remedies found on your channel and found them successful, and also am finding other authoritative sources who endorse keto, it’s worth the investment to give this plan my best effort.
What about a Recomp Macronutrients plan for 2 meals a day? How do I consme 2468 calories?
Lol! What did you said Dr.? I’m confused lol
I am confused. 1 ounce equals to 28. something grams… the numbers dont add up.
so on 2 meals a day, is that 20 grams of carbs 'per meal' or 'per day'?
I would've been OK if you had'nt mentioned 'calories'. thought we didn't need to think in terms of calories, only grams of fat, carbs and protein?
Thanks a million for the clarity, I was just about to start working out the carbs, protein and fat and saw your video. I found it to be quite helpful because I eat 2 meals a day and wanted to figure out how to do that maths. I got the understand now.
What ever you eat it all depend on the quantity your age your weight and whatever…. If anyone eat healthy and do exercise, after some time they will definitely lose weight feel better no need to count calories in every single meal. There is even food that does not exist in western food imagination
This explains something that has baffled me for a long time.
I require less total calories to maintain weight if I only eat one meal as opposed to several meals a day. I maintain weight with one 1500 calorie meal but If I eat 2 meals, 8 hours apart, I can go to 1800 calories total to maintain weight, all other things being equal.
Goes against the calories in/ calories out theory for sure but now I understand why thanks to this video.
Hi Dr Berg, I have been looking for this detailed information!! I have been Keto 2 meals with IF for 6 months and I actually gained my midsection fat. Because I have been eating too much FAT!! 165g a day!!!!🤪
Now I know how much fat and protein I should consume a day!! The information wasn’t confusing at all. Very helpful!!
Thank you again and God Bless You!!!!!!!
Does bulletproof coffee count as a meal? Thank you!
The only diet that worked for me is the Agoge diet ? All others were hard to follow and I felt horrible
''Totally pissed off"….lol…
How u read my mind is getting sus🕴
👌
Great job Dr Berg!!
Where is the calculator????
I normally eat 2 meals a day but I was addicted to sugar and had a high carb diet with almost no vegetables decided to skip breakfast and do intermittent fasting and cut ouy sugar and eat a small amount of carb and eat more vegetables. I worked out 7 days a week but didn't see a huge difference in my weight until i started this lifestyle i can eat one meal a day and noy get hungry even if i eat breakfast and the weight loss is actually looking like i workout 7 days a week
Thank you Dr. Berg.great explanation.was not confused i was focus on what you were saying about 1 meal per day..😁❤👍
Why does he say 5oz is 75gr? 1oz is 28gr so 5oz is 140gr
is it 20-30 grams of net carbs or any carbs?
4oz is not 90g, it's 113g. 5oz is 141g, not 75g and 8oz = 226, not 60g. Am I missing something? What the actual hell.
Thanks Dr, is this referring to total or net carbs?
Theses are the burning questions I’ve been trying to find the answers too.. and I got it straight away
Thanks
He is a legend for this video it should be every where mounted on walls
Encourage people that, if they do IF, that is 80% of the game! Keto just fine tunes things on that solid foundation!
This is fanatastic, but now I am wondering if I need to change it even further while eating OMEOD? Would I just eat the OMAD amounts for that?
Actually not confusing at all. Answered some of my questions.
But is 1 oz = 28.35 g? Because 4oz are more or less 113 grams of proteins per meal not 90 grams, or did I make a mistake?
Because even if someone eats 90 g of proteins per meal in three meal are 270 grams more or less 1080 Cal, so more 20 grams of carbs 80 Cal that are 1160 Cal, so 1800 Cal – 1160 Cal is 640 Cal in grams we have 71 grams of fats not 140 grams and I've some doubts that with 4 oz of prots in a meal the insulin stay low.
But when does someone get the ideally weight?
How many gr. is a cup? Thank you.
When I first began Keto and fasting 18:6, I was a bit worried about nutrition – then it suddenly dawned on me – I'd hardly paid attention to nutrition for most of my life! Apart from the odd vitamin C capsule – to prevent me from catching a cold. Also, that old approach got me to 313 pounds.
I now fast 19:5 and follow strict Keto – after ten months I now weigh 208 pounds.
My nutrition has never been so good.
You explained this very well, thank you.
Look i know you said this is confusing but ive been tracking macros for years and this is exactly what i needed to know to make sure my ratios were right.
🙄🤣Only Dr Berg vid I ignore with glee saw-ree!
No, why should i pissed off from u, its free info to me,
We could never be pissed at you Dr. berg!!!
Not pi$$ed off at all Dr. Berg. This really helped me, so thank you very much!
Rumour is he is still working on that calculator.
Here is where I'm confused. On your website, you say the macros are already figured into your recipes, but they don't show the calories. So how would I know if I need to eat more than just that one dish? Also the sides don't show any macros or calories. Are they supposed to?
I’m on two meals a day and cannot eat that much protein. I’m lucky if I have 69 grams for the whole day!!!
omad 1200cal c15 p60 f100
Crystal. That wasn’t confusing at all. Thanks!
So is it healthy to eat less than 2000 kcal per day. I have heard that eating less will slowdown your metabolism on the long run. I don't know how much "eating less" meant. I thought less than 2.000.
So isn't 1.500 kcal on keto going to slowdown the metabolism. To survive (save calories)??
Thank you
Errr… some of those oz to gram conversions are wayyy off, just fyi.
Greetings from the land of the metric system 😅
Cruciferous veggies and leafy greens except spinach or rhubarb soups
I dont go over 20 g carbs, 30 g proteins, and fat in moderation in any given day, usually around 20 g is satisfying me, sometimes more – 40g
I dont need meal in morning, I eat first time around 4pm, last meal around 7-8pm if I need
Normally I prepare meals so that most vitamins would be in it, I look to charts that veggies has vitamins and minerals I need
I eat fish and poultry once a week, I don't eat meat
