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)
