Why Calculate Your Macronutrients?
Macronutrient tracking (IIFYM - If It Fits Your Macros) is proven to be 37% more effective for body composition goals than calorie counting alone[1]. Our calculator answers critical questions:
- How much protein do I need to build muscle?
- What's the optimal carb intake for fat loss?
- How to adjust my macros for weight maintenance?
How Our Macronutrient Calculator Works
Our algorithm uses 6 evidence-based inputs to calculate your needs:
- Measurement System (Metric/Imperial)
- Biological Gender (Male/Female metabolism differences)
- Age & Body Metrics (Weight/Height)
- Activity Level (Sedentary to Athlete)
- Fitness Goal (Maintenance/Weight Loss/Muscle Gain)
- Body Fat Percentage (Optional for precision)
