Macro Calculator
Split daily calories into protein, carbs, and fat.
🍽️ Splits daily calories into protein/carbs/fat. Aim for 1.6-2.2g protein per kg body weight for muscle gain.
What Is This Tool?
Macros (macronutrients) are the three calorie-providing nutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and fat. This calculator splits your daily calorie target into a macro breakdown based on your goal.
The Three Macros
- Protein (4 cal/g): Builds and repairs muscle. Aim 1.6-2.2g per kg body weight.
- Carbs (4 cal/g): Primary energy source. Critical for high-intensity exercise.
- Fat (9 cal/g): Hormones, vitamin absorption, satiety. Don't go below 20% of calories.
Recommended Splits by Goal
- Lose weight: Higher protein (40/30/30) to preserve muscle in a deficit
- Maintain: Balanced (30/40/30)
- Build muscle: Higher carbs (35/45/20) for training fuel
Protein Is the Most Important Macro
For most people, hitting your protein target matters more than the exact carb/fat split. Adequate protein preserves muscle during weight loss, supports muscle gain, and increases satiety. Aim for 1.6-2.2g per kg of body weight.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to track macros?
No. Many people lose weight or build muscle eating intuitively. But tracking macros for a few weeks teaches you portion sizes and reveals hidden calories — a valuable learning exercise even if you stop later.
