Setting Up Macro Tracking in Your Keto App: A Step-by-Step Guide
Accurate macro tracking is one of the most powerful tools in a keto dieter’s arsenal. This guide walks you through setting up your keto app for success from day one.
Step 1: Enter Your Personal Data
Input your age, gender, height, current weight, and target weight. These determine your caloric needs and macro targets.
Step 2: Choose Your Goal
Select weight loss, maintenance, or muscle building. The app will adjust your calorie target accordingly.
Step 3: Set Your Carb Limit
For standard keto, set net carbs to 20g. For moderate keto, 50g. The app will track your remaining carb allowance throughout the day.
Step 4: Configure Your Macro Ratios
Set fat to 70%, protein to 25%, carbs to 5% as a starting point. Adjust based on your response over the first 2–4 weeks.
Step 5: Add Favourite Foods and Meals
Pre-load your frequently eaten keto foods and save meals you eat regularly. This makes daily logging much faster. Add our keto breakfast recipes and keto main dishes to your favourites list.
Step 6: Enable Daily Reminders
Set meal logging reminders to build the habit. Consistency in tracking leads to consistency in results.
