Protein & Macro Calculator
Calculate daily protein needs and a personalized macronutrient split (carbs • protein • fats) based on weight, activity and goals.
Why Track Protein & Macros?
Tracking protein and macronutrients helps you reach goals faster — whether weight loss, muscle gain or performance. Protein supports muscle repair and growth; carbohydrates provide energy; fats support hormones and recovery.
Practical Tips
- Weigh foods or use a tracking app for accuracy.
- Prioritize protein across meals (20–40 g per meal depending on needs).
- Adjust macros weekly as your weight and activity changes.
- Use whole-food sources: lean protein, complex carbs, healthy fats.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much protein per day?
A: Typically 1.2–2.2 g/kg depending on activity — this tool personalizes it.
Q: Should I reduce carbs to lose fat?
A: Not necessarily — reduce calories below maintenance and keep protein high to preserve muscle.
Q: Are fats bad?
A: No. Healthy fats (nuts, olive oil, fish) support hormones and recovery. Aim for 20–35% of calories from fat.
