Example of CKD Calculations

The calculations that follow are done with a starting body weight of 150 lb:

Keto Phase Calculations:
Total Calories Needed = (15 x 150) - 500 = 1750 cal

LMW = 150 x (1-.25) = 112.5 LMW

g Protein/day = 1g x 112.5 = 112.5 g
cal Protein/day = 112.5 g * 4 cal/g = 450 cal

cal Fat/day = 1750 cal - 450 cal -80 = 1220 cal
g Fat/day = 1220 cal / 9 cal/g = 135 g/day

Carb Phase Calculations:
Total Cal (from previous calculations) = 1750 Calories for Saturday
g Protein/Saturday = .8*150 =  120 g P x 4 = 480 cal
g Fat/Saturday = .5*150 = 75 g F x 9 = 675 cal
Carb calories = (1750-480-675) = 595 cal
g Carbs/Saturday = 595/4 = ~150 g
