You’ve probably seen a pie chart for keto that says to eat a certain percentage of the three macronutrients for keto: protein, carbs, and fat. These percentages refer to a portion of your total calories. They aren’t grams of macros.

If you’re doing keto and still eating three meals per day because you haven’t yet started intermittent fasting, I recommend five percent carbs, five percent vegetables, twenty percent protein, and seventy percent fat.

If you’re eating two meals or one meal, the percentage of your carbs will go up. But as long as you keep the number of grams of carbs to between twenty and fifty per day, you’ll be fine. Don’t worry about the percentage.

Because vegetables have a lot of mass, seven to ten cups per day comes out to about five percent of your total calories, whether you’re eating one, two, or three meals each day.

My first tip: don’t consume your protein first. It’s easy to overeat, resulting in an insulin spike. But if you don’t consume enough, your liver breaks down your muscles to create glycogen (sugar) for fuel.

Second tip: consume your vegetables first. Eat ten cups daily if you’re consuming three meals per day; eight cups if two meals a day; seven cups if one meal per day.

Third tip: adjust the fats based on how you feel after you eat them. If you feel over-full and bloated, reduce the amount. If you feel hungry soon after a meal, increase the amount.

Fourth tip: keep your net carb intake between twenty and fifty grams per day. Net carbs are total grams minus the fiber in a given food. If you have a slow metabolism, aim for twenty; if it’s faster, you can go up to fifty. Beware of hidden carbs, especially in restaurant foods.

Fifth tip: consume quality protein; for example, wild-caught or grass-fed. Use organic vegetables and high-quality fats like avocados and coconut oil. My five tips for making sure you’re eating the right amount of keto macros.
