Hey Davine,

When you scroll down to the bottom of the page after you hit calculate, do you see a box titled “your macros” with the results in it?

Hey Manish,

It doesn’t look like you are doing anything wrong. However, some people do experience higher cholesterol levels as a result of following a Keto Diet.

To help you understand what’s going on and what your cholesterol levels mean, I recommend reading this article:
https://www.ruled.me/the-ketogenic-diet-and-cholesterol/

If you find that your cholesterol levels are getting worse after you apply what you learn from the article, you may benefit from following the recommendations under the “What if Keto is Making Your Cholesterol Levels Worse?” section.

If you have any other questions after reading through the article, please let me know.

If you scroll down again, do you see the results?

If not, you may need to fill it out again, use another browser, or try it in a private/incognito window.

In reply to tyler@ruled.me. Thanks so much for your reply. I came back today and it worked again. Yay! I find the results of your calculator more reasonable than many others. Thanks for all you offer.

In reply to Bhavanilorraine. I'm trying it on my end using different browsers, and it seems to be working. Try putting in "26" instead of "26%" for body fat percentage. This may be what is throwing it off.

I’ve used your macro calculator in the past and it was quick and easy. I’m in a different place at this point, so today I put all my new values in and clicked on Calculate. Over and over it simply flipped back to some of the values. One thing I put in was a 26% fat percentage, which is what I got from my Tanita scale this morning. Is there something wrong with that? Please respond with some explanation for this. I really found your calculator helpful when I used it before, and this is very frustrating.

Have you tried using a different browser or an incognito/private window? This may clear up the issue for you.

Hey Moni,

As long as you had the “Lose Weight” option selected, you were doing the right thing. When you put “25%” for “How much of a deficit do you want?,” you are telling the calculator to 25% away from your estimated daily energy expenditure.

If I just confused you even more about what is going on, I recommend checking out our article on how to lose weight on keto:

And if you have any questions, please let me know.

Hey Loren,

Not a dumb question at all. It sounds like you are somewhere between moderately active and very active (based on my assumption of how many calories you are burning throughout the day). For 4-6 weeks, I recommend following the macros for “very active”. After that time, assess your results.

If you want to lose weight at a faster rate, scale your calorie consumption down to what the calculator says for “moderately active,” and aim for a weight loss rate at 1 to 2 pounds per week.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.
