In reply to Mary. There really isn't a formula and calories don't seem to matter (unless you go way overboard) when following a ketogenic diet.

Im frustrated as well because you didnt answer the question. Calories matter. Got it. You can eat more calories on keto diet and because youre eating fat you are satiated and likely eat less calories. All articles state this. But people dont eat because theyre hungry. They eat because they like food. So i was on a high carb diet of 1500 calories a day, how many more calories can I consume on a keto diet? Given i have never seen an answer to this question, im guessing the answer is i dont know because there are no controlled studies on this. And there is the issue. Fat has a lot of calories. So to lose weight, keto may be better but the calories quickly add up. I wish it was more formulaic ie you need a caloric deficit of 3500 calories to lose a pound but on keto you only need a deficit of 1500 calories. Otherwise, might as well count calories as thats proven.

In reply to Sandra. It's different when in ketosis, but it's hard to say. It's best to just experiment and see what works for you.

Many apologies, but I don’t understand. My daily expenditure rate is around 1350 cals/day. I have been eating 1800-2000 cals a day and the macro distribution is fat 75-80%, carbs 5-10%, protein 20-10%… would this kind of eating mean I will gain weight, even when most of my intake is from (good) fat? Thanks for the help!

In reply to Shar. The question was answered. It depends on the macros you get from the food you are eating. 100 calories of healthy fat will react much differently than 100 calories from highly processed high carbohydrate junk food.

Are you kidding me? You wrote all that to answer the question as to how many calories you should consume to lose weight and then didn’t answer the question.

Click bait.
