# Electrolytes / Micronutrients Intake | Ketogenic Diet.

This table provides daily protein intake ranges for a ketogenic diet based on [lean body mass (LBM)](https://wiki.danicus.net/books/keto/page/methods-to-determine-lean-body-mass-lbm "Ketogenic Diet Protein Intake by Lean Body Mass") in 25-lb increments. Use your estimated [LBM](https://wiki.danicus.net/books/keto/page/methods-to-determine-lean-body-mass-lbm "Methods to Determine Lean Body Mass (LBM):") (approximated as your "ideal" or "skinny" weight) and activity level to determine your target.

### Electrolytes Intake

<div id="bkmrk-"></div><div id="bkmrk-%2A%2Alight-activity-%28se"><div>Electrolytes prevent keto flu and maintain hydration. Ranges are based on general keto needs, slightly increasing with LBM due to larger body size and water turnover:</div><div>- **Sodium**: 3,000–5,000 mg/day.</div><div>- **Potassium**: 3,000–4,700 mg/day.</div><div>- **Magnesium**: 300–400 mg/day.</div><div>- **Note**: Active individuals may need the higher end due to sweat loss. Adjust based on symptoms (e.g., cramps, fatigue).</div>  
<div>| Lean Body Mass (lbs) | Sodium (mg/day) | Potassium (mg/day) | Magnesium (mg/day) |</div><div>|----------------------|-----------------|---------------------|--------------------|</div><div>| 100 | 3,000–4,500 | 3,000–4,200 | 300–350 |</div><div>| 125 | 3,000–4,500 | 3,000–4,200 | 300–350 |</div><div>| 150 | 3,200–4,700 | 3,200–4,400 | 320–370 |</div><div>| 175 | 3,200–4,700 | 3,200–4,400 | 320–370 |</div><div>| 200 | 3,500–5,000 | 3,500–4,700 | 340–400 |</div><div>| 225 | 3,500–5,000 | 3,500–4,700 | 340–400 |</div><div>| 250 | 3,500–5,000 | 3,500–4,700 | 340–400 |</div>  
</div>### Micronutrients Intake

<div id="bkmrk--1"></div><div id="bkmrk-micronutrient-needs-"><div><div>Micronutrient needs are based on general dietary recommendations (RDA/AI) and are consistent across LBM and activity levels, as keto limits food variety:</div><div>- **Calcium**: 1,000–1,300 mg/day.</div><div>- **Vitamin D**: 600–800 IU/day (or more if deficient).</div><div>- **Vitamin C**: 75–90 mg/day (lower needs on keto due to reduced glucose competition).</div><div>- **B Vitamins**: Met through food (e.g., B1, B9 from liver, eggs); no specific daily gram range, but ensure sources are included.</div><div>- **Note**: Larger individuals may need slightly higher intakes to prevent deficiencies. Supplements may be needed if diet lacks variety.</div>
