The Ketogenic Calculator is a simple on the go solution for those looking to calculate the Ketogenic Ratio of Foods, Recipes and Restaurant Meals. We hope you enjoy it!

The Ketogenic Diet is a high-fat, adequate protein, low carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children and has become very popular amongst dieters. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fuelling brain function. However, if there is very little carbohydrate in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, a state known as ketosis, leads to a reduction in the frequency of epileptic seizures and weight loss for those looking to reduce weight.

The classic ketogenic diet contains a 4:1 ratio by weight of fat to combined protein and carbohydrate. This is achieved by excluding high carbohydrate foods such as starchy fruits and vegetables, bread, pasta, grains and sugar, while increasing the consumption of foods high in fat such as cream and butter.

Latest reviews of Ketogenic Diet Calculator app for iPhone and iPad

Worthless
I need a refund, the user has to enter all the information manually to get the percentage of fats, proteins and carbs, which of course is useless because youre able to do that with a calculator. Please do not download this app, I thought it would automatically calculate everything from some database of food info stored somewhere. Save your money.
Its good...
It simple app but really helpful.
Scam
Scam, there is no calculator!!! Want refund immediately
ITS A SCAM
I need my money back, writing it down in a journal would be more helpful! It provides NO information that you dont enter manually. MyFitnessPal is way better! You cant look foods up or anything.
Worthless
