Macros can be used as a carbs counter for diet types like Keto or Atkins.
First, you can change the macronutrient ratio/distribution in the second tab of the app.
- To use a predefined distribution, tap the “Diet type” selector and select “Ketogenic (Atkins)“
- If you want to manually choose the percentage that you want to consume of each macro, tap the “Edit macronutrients distribution” button and set your desired percentages. Tap “Save” to apply the changes.
If you also want to count net carbs instead of total carbs, follow these steps:
- Open the settings of the app (the gear icon)
- Tap on “Advanced“
- Enable the option “Calculate net carbs“
Now the net carbs will be automatically calculated and shown in the calorie counter.
Note: The net carbs option should only be used by USA and Canada users. In other countries, the total carbs shown in the nutrition facts label already represent the net carbs.
