If you’ve tried the Keto diet, you’re probably familiar with counting macros. The basic idea is to keep fat high, protein moderate, and carbs low to enter the fat-burning state called ketosis. What happens if you go over your Keto macros? That depends on the macronutrient. Most people know that keeping carbs low is the number one rule of Keto. Missing the mark here will generally (though not always) derail your Keto diet. There’s more confusion, however, when calibrating fat and protein macros. Keep reading and we’ll clear it up. What Are Macros? “Macros” stands for macronutrients. The three primary macronutrients—carbohydrates, protein, and fat—provide the calories needed to fuel your body. Calories, by the way, are a form of stored energy. In your body, calories are converted to usable energy as ATP, which in turn powers all your cells. Technically, alcohol is also a macro. But unless you count social lubrication, it has no important functions. The different macros have different caloric densities. Here’s how that looks: Carbohydrate: 4 calories per gram

Protein: 4 calories per gram

Fat: 9 calories per gram

(In case you were wondering, alcohol has 7 calories per gram) Why are they called macros? Because carbs, protein, and fat are required in large (or “macro” amounts) to keep your body humming. Micronutrients, predictably enough, are required in micro amounts. Which Macros Matter Most? Of all the macros, you could argue that protein is the most critical. Amino acids (the building blocks of protein) are needed to build muscle, synthesize hormones, heal wounds, promote neurological function, and much more. But protein isn’t so great for making ATP, and that’s where carbs and fats come in.[*] They’re both “preferred” energy sources. Besides providing energy, dietary fat also helps you build cell membranes and absorb fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K.[*] These aren’t functions you want to miss out on. Carbs provide a vital form of energy called glucose, but in the absence of carbs (such as Keto or fasting situations), your body can make its own glucose via gluconeogenesis.[*] Because of this, carbs are arguably the most optional macro. Your Macros on Keto On a Keto diet, you consume 55 to 75 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 35 percent from protein, and less than 10 percent from carbohydrates. Keeping your macros in these ratios helps keep the hormone insulin low, signaling your body to burn fat and enter ketosis. Keeping carbs low is the key. Why? Because carbs raise insulin levels more than the other macros, and rising insulin will kick you out of ketosis faster than you can say “ketogenesis.”[*] After carbs, protein is the next most insulinogenic macro. Then comes fat, which has a minuscule insulin impact. This explains why therapeutic Keto diets (which were originally created to help manage seizures in people with epilepsy) demand you eat 80% or more of your calories from fat.[*] That’s what’s required to elevate ketones into the higher ranges. But assuming you’re doing Keto for fat loss or general health, you’ll have more flexibility.

Whether you sandwich PB between two of 'em or cover 'em with cheese, crackers are pretty much their own food group. Party appetizer tray? Perfect. Lazy lunch? They work for that, too.

Are crackers actually healthy for you, though? Eh.

“Most crackers are filled with potentially inflammatory ingredients, including gluten, processed vegetable oils like canola oil and soybean oil, added sugar, synthetic vitamins, and other preservatives,” says Sam Presicci, RD, lead dietitian for Snap Kitchen.

“Unfortunately, these ingredients are mainstays in big-name brands like Ritz,” she says.

Luckily (because what's a life without crackers?), genius better-for-you healthy cracker options—including everything from gluten-free classics to cauliflower crackers—are popping up all over the place. “While crackers made with white flour can be fine every once in a while, look for whole-grain options that don’t contain artificial additives,” says dietitian Kelly Jones, RD. Presicci also recommends opting for a box that's gluten-free, has a simple ingredient list, and doesn't contain any preservatives. Next time you put together a fancy cheese board (or just need snacks to stash at your desk), go for these healthy crackers.
