I just joined and I'm confused about one thing. I read everywhere that the Keto diet is approx 70% Fat, 25% Protein and 5% Carb, but this app recommend 50% Carb, 30% Fat, 20% Protein for my meals after I entered my weight and my goals. Did I do something wrong or is this a transition suggestion?

    This app isn't designed for keto specifically. You may be able to change the ratios in your settings if you want to follow a specific diet plan (I'm not sure if this is a Premium feature or available to everyone).

    As @TwistedSassette mentioned this is not a Keto specific app, it is a calorie counting app, the default settings are geared towards ensuring that members are getting minimum RDA of Protein & Fat.

    You can adjust the percentages without Premium from your settings. Premium option allows you to adjust by grams rather than percent which isn't necessary for most people.
