There are a ton to choose from and they are very different. Just curious which ones you feel work the best for you.

    I use this one for calories and protein, then I just cycle carbs between 100ish and 25ish.

    I use ruled.me but I also used a couple other calculators that I found and they all gave me basically the same numbers with a variance of +/- 5% or so. I stuck with the macros and info from ruled.me because of the way it allows me to customize some of the info a bit.

    I wouldn’t use any other than this one.
    I followed the teeny tiny protein macros most keto calculators give you when I first started 3 years ago and I definitely lost weight. 25 pounds that didn’t look like much because it was a lot of muscle as far as I can tell.
    Then I basically doubled my protein and reduced the fat a bit, and even though I stopped losing weight I lost the most fat.
