How often do you change macros?

I'm curious how often I should be looking at my calories? I've been using the keto calculator to get my macros, and it has not changed in 10 pounds, I actually am still using the same macros from when I first started. So is there a rule of thumb?

    Hm... I think 10lbs loss is a good time to change them. Some people recommend monthly.

    I think anytime you've had significant change -- at least every 10 pounds or every month. Remember - usually the calculations are built on Body Fat % and not weight. So you're Body Fat % may shift, and weight may not.

    The Keto Calculator is a great tool, since so much is built into that.
