In retrospect I view the initial advice of 1144 kcal as a good starting point for me, back at the start. However as my weight came down in a slow controlled way towards my goal I find that I am recently 400 - 600 kcal above the initially advised minimum of 1144 kcal. ... More important to me though was the need to keep as close to the 63-9-28 % ratio's of the three macronutrients for my overall daily average. ... In conclusion with regards to  the accuracy of the Keto-calculator I can only say that it worked at the beginning as a guide and still works for me now and has not caused me any ill effects,</blockquote>Your percentage goals, especially 9-10% carbs, are intriguing. Practical, too: they make planning a diet seem easy. I may try reducing sugar consumption to achieve lower A1c. It'd be a mental challenge. I am already lean. The "keto-calculator" recommends for me daily carbs of 25 g. Again, this is based on the particular goal of ketogenesis (as opposed to weight loss or glycaemic lowering). But goodness, my present intake is 150 to 250![/QUOTE]
