1. What is Macronutrient Calculation?

Macronutrient calculation determines the optimal balance of protein, fats, and carbohydrates based on your weight and daily calorie needs. This helps in achieving specific fitness or health goals.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses these formulas:

Where:

• \( weight \) — Body weight in kilograms
• \( calories \) — Daily calorie intake
• Protein calculation — 2.0g per kg of body weight
• Fat calculation — 30% of total calories (9 calories per gram)
• Carbohydrate calculation — Remaining calories after protein and fat (4 calories per gram)

3. Importance of Macronutrient Balance

Details: Proper macronutrient distribution is essential for muscle growth, fat loss, energy levels, and overall health. This calculator provides a balanced approach.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current weight in kg and your target daily calorie intake. The calculator will provide protein, fat, and carbohydrate targets in grams.

Q3: Can I adjust these ratios?
A: Yes, these are general recommendations. Athletes or those with specific goals may need different ratios.

Q4: What if my carbs seem low?
