How to Calculate Your Daily Calories Yourself

March 18, 2019May 3, 2019Categories Health & Fitness2 Comments on How to Calculate Your Daily Calories Yourself

However, before we get to those, we will need look at the activity level multipliers because they apply universally to both methods.

How to use Keto Correctly

Keto is a tool to help you get to where you need to be. Do not think of keto as a cure-all, it isn't, nor is it magic. It is, however, a very efficient tool for weight loss, and for training people to pay better attention to what they are eating.

A Little About Us

Our OK Family is a personal blog run by a husband and wife team. Between us, we have the expertise of a microbiologist, a computer scientist, a writer, an editor, and years of parenting; and also years of failed financial management, failed weight management, poor health, and all the experience of getting out of that pit of despair.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind our awesome family of readers, that the articles we write are opinionated pieces, sharing our stories of what has worked for us, and that we hope will work for you too, but as with all things in life, this is something we cannot guarantee to you. And none of our content should be considered medical, financial, psychological, or other professional advise. If you are seeking this, then you will need to seek out an individual of the necessary profession to assist you, be that a medical practitioner, accountant, psychologist, therapist, or otherwise.

We share our words to help, and we truly hope that they do. As such we will always work to the best of our ability to provide you with the best and most accurate information we can, and will reserve the right to change an opinion or change the focus of our site as we learn and continue to share and grow with our community.

With love & respect,
Ryan and Michelle
