Lazy Keto: Net Carb Target Calculator

Lazy keto simplifies the standard ketogenic diet by tracking only net carbs — typically staying under 20–30 g per day — without actively counting protein or fat grams. It works for many people because carb restriction alone is usually sufficient to induce and maintain ketosis, and removing the protein-and-fat accounting reduces decision fatigue. The trade-off is less control over total calorie intake: if fat grams are uncapped, it is possible to eat above maintenance and stall weight loss even while staying in ketosis. For lazy keto to produce reliable fat loss, most people still need to eat to mild satiety rather than eating beyond fullness. This calculator gives you a starting calorie estimate and net carb target based on your stats. If you want to track only carbs, use the net carb number from the results and ignore the protein and fat columns — those are there as a reference if you decide to tighten up your approach later.
