AB  - The  ketogenic  diet  is  a  high-fat,  adequate-protein,  low-carbohydrate  diet  that  is  carefully  calculated  by  a  dietitian  and  menus  created  for  a  parent  to  follow.1  A  ketogenic  diet  ratio  of  4:1  describes  the  ratio  of  grams  of  fat  to  both  carbohydrate  and  protein  combined,  and  provides  90%  of  calories  from  fat  (Fig.  53–1).  A  3:1  ratio  is  used  primarily  for  infants  and  adolescents  in  whom  either  higher  protein  or  more  carbohydrates  are  needed  for  either  growth  or  tolerability.
