Low-Carb Macro Planner

Moderate low-carb layouts (50–150 g) with the hydration/electrolyte transition facts — not a crash-keto funnel.

Carbohydrate (g/day)
Protein (g/day)
Fat (fills the rest) (g/day)

Meta-analyses find low-carb and low-fat diets perform similarly at matched calories and protein — choose by food preference and adherence, not metabolic folklore. The first low-carb week sheds 1–2 kg of glycogen-bound water and sodium; salting food properly prevents most 'low-carb flu'. This planner holds calories at maintenance by design.

Formula

carbs fixed at ceiling; protein = 1.6 g/kg; fat fills remaining kcal
