1. What is Body Recomp?

Body recomposition refers to the process of simultaneously losing fat and gaining muscle. This calculator provides macronutrient targets specifically designed for females aiming for body recomposition.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

Where:

• \( TDEE \) — Total Daily Energy Expenditure (kcal/day)
• \( weight \) — Body weight in kilograms
• Protein at 1.8g per kg of body weight
• Fat at 30% of total calories
• Remaining calories allocated to carbohydrates

Explanation: This approach prioritizes protein for muscle preservation/growth, includes adequate fat for hormonal health, and uses carbs for energy and performance.

3. Importance of Macronutrient Calculation

Details: Proper macronutrient distribution is crucial for body recomposition - supporting muscle growth while promoting fat loss through moderate calorie intake.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your accurate TDEE (use a TDEE calculator if unsure) and current weight in kg. For best results, track intake consistently and adjust based on progress.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why 1.8g protein per kg?
A: This amount supports muscle protein synthesis during recomposition while being practical for most females to consume.

Q2: Can I adjust these ratios?
A: Yes, some may prefer slightly higher fat or carbs. These are starting recommendations that can be personalized.

Q3: How often should I recalculate?
A: Recalculate every 4-6 weeks or with significant weight changes (±5kg).

Q4: What if I'm not seeing results?
A: Ensure accurate TDEE, proper training, and consistent tracking. Small adjustments may be needed over time.

Q5: Is this suitable for all females?
A: While generally appropriate, individual needs may vary based on activity level, age, and specific goals.
