How to use it
- Enter your weight, height, age, gender, activity level, and goal adjustment.
- Click the Calculate button to get daily calories and macro grams.
- Use the displayed grams to plan meals or adjust your intake.
What it does – The Macro Calculator takes your weight, height, age, gender, activity level and goal adjustment, then instantly returns your total daily calorie target and how many grams of protein, carbs, and fat you should eat each day. Why it matters – Knowing exact macro grams removes guesswork, keeps you in the right calorie window, and aligns nutrition with training or weight‑loss goals. How to read the numbers – Calories show the energy you can consume; protein, carbs, and fat are split 30 % / 40 % / 30 % of those calories, then converted to grams using 4 kcal/g for protein & carbs and 9 kcal/g for fat. Use the gram values to plan meals, track intake, or set grocery lists. The results update instantly as you tweak activity or goal sliders.
Pro tips
- Round macro grams to the nearest 5 g for easier meal prep.
- Add a 5 % buffer to calories if you’re training on consecutive days.
- Use the same unit (grams) for all foods when logging to avoid conversion errors.
- Adjust the goal slider slowly; a 5 % change shifts macro grams noticeably.
