Keto and calories

Phoenix69

I am thinking about going Keto. However I am very of my calorie intake.
Does anybody know how to properly figure out one's calories if on keto?

If you use this app to log the foods you do eat, it will calculate the calories for you - choose the verified entries.
Also use the barcode scanner when you can.

It doesn't matter whether your way of eating is vegan, pescatarian, keto or other. You log the foods in the diary and the math is done for you.

Be aware that the database is user entries. If something doesn't make sense, it's possible that it's an incorrect entry.

Stay in a calorie deficit and lose weight. Good luck!

Yeah, like they said above, the calories don't change. You simply eat a different mix of macros. I would say if you don't understand how Keto is done, be very careful and do your research ahead of time as there are a few things of which you need to be aware, nutritionally.

Thank you. I was not sure if one's calories intake needed to be different on Keto.

No. All weight loss is driven by a calorie deficit and you lose no differently with the same deficit from one plan to the next. If you tell MFP you wish to lose 1 pound a week it will give you a daily goal that includes a 500 calorie deficit. Whether you eat keto or the twinkie diet if you stay in that goal you will lose weight.

The only advantage that keto provides is that for some all that fat is very satiating.
