Example Data Table
| Profile | Weight | Body Fat | Activity | Goal | Net Carbs | Protein Factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner fat loss | 82 kg | 25% | Moderate | Fat loss | 25 g | 1.6 |
| Maintenance plan | 70 kg | 20% | Light | Maintenance | 30 g | 1.5 |

Formula Used
BMR male: 10 × weight kg + 6.25 × height cm - 5 × age + 5
BMR female: 10 × weight kg + 6.25 × height cm - 5 × age - 161
TDEE: BMR × activity factor
Target calories: TDEE × (1 + goal adjustment ÷ 100)
Lean mass: weight kg × (1 - body fat percentage ÷ 100)
Protein grams: lean mass kg × protein factor
Fat grams: remaining calories after protein and carbs ÷ 9
Net carb calories: net carb grams × 4
Protein calories: protein grams × 4

About This Keto Planner
A keto plan works best when numbers match the person. This calculator turns body details into daily targets. It estimates energy needs first. Then it sets net carbs, protein, and fat. The result is useful for meal planning, shopping, and progress reviews.
The tool starts with basal metabolic rate. That value estimates calories used at rest. Activity then raises the number. Your goal changes the final calorie target. A fat loss goal usually lowers calories. A muscle gain goal usually raises them. Maintenance keeps the target near daily energy use.
Why Macros Matter
Protein is based on lean body mass. This avoids setting protein only from scale weight. Lean mass is estimated from body fat percentage. A higher protein factor can suit active users. A lower factor can suit lighter training. Net carbs are entered as grams. Many keto plans keep net carbs low. Fat then fills the remaining calories.
The calculator also gives meal targets. This helps users split macros across the day. It can divide calories, carbs, protein, fat, and electrolytes by meal count. It also estimates water needs from body weight. These values are guides, not medical instructions.
Practical Keto Notes
Use the result as a starting point. Track meals for several days. Compare energy, hunger, weight trend, and workout performance. Adjust only one setting at a time. This makes changes easier to understand. If weight loss stalls, review hidden carbs first. Then review snacks, oils, and portion size. If energy feels low, check sodium, sleep, and total calories.
Keto needs planning. Vegetables, eggs, fish, meat, dairy, nuts, and oils can fit. Food quality still matters. Choose simple meals when possible. Avoid copying another person's macro targets. Different bodies need different numbers. People with medical conditions should ask a qualified professional before major diet changes.
This planner is not an official medical tool. It is also not connected with any public nutrition personality. It simply provides a structured keto macro estimate. Use it carefully, save the report, and refine your plan with real results. Review the example table before using your own data. It shows how activity, carbs, and goals change the output. Keep notes beside each export, so future updates stay consistent and easier to compare later too.
FAQs
1. Is this calculator an official Dr Berg tool?
No. This is an independent keto macro planner. It is not official, endorsed, or connected with any public nutrition personality.
2. What are net carbs?
Net carbs usually mean total carbohydrates minus fiber and selected sugar alcohols. This calculator uses the net carb grams you enter.
3. Why does protein use lean body mass?
Lean mass gives a more focused protein estimate. It avoids basing protein only on total scale weight, which includes fat mass.
4. Can I use this for weight loss?
Yes. Choose a fat loss goal and review the target calories. Use the result as a guide, not as medical advice.
5. Why is my fat target very low?
Your protein and carb calories may be using most calories. Lower carbs, adjust protein, or raise calories if the plan is too strict.
6. Are electrolyte targets required?
No. They are optional planning values. People with medical conditions or medication use should ask a qualified professional first.
7. How often should I recalculate?
Recalculate after meaningful weight change, activity change, or goal change. Many users review their numbers every two to four weeks.
8. Can I export my results?
Yes. Use the CSV button for spreadsheet data. Use the PDF button after calculating to save a simple report.
