ketogenic macronutrient ratio

The ketogenic macronutrient ratio describes how much of your daily calories come from fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Typically, a keto diet emphasizes high fat intake (around 70-75%), moderate protein (20-25%), and very low carbohydrates (5-10%). This balance shifts your body into a state called ketosis, where it uses fat as its primary energy source instead of carbs. Achieving this ratio helps promote fat burning and can support weight loss and certain health conditions, while still providing essential nutrients.
