1. What is the Endomorph Macro Calculator?

The Endomorph Macro Calculator provides customized macronutrient recommendations for women with an endomorph body type (tendency to store fat, slower metabolism). It suggests higher protein and fat intake with lower carbohydrates compared to standard recommendations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

Where:

• Protein — 35% of total calories (4 calories per gram)
• Carbs — 25% of total calories (4 calories per gram)
• Fat — 40% of total calories (9 calories per gram)

Explanation: This ratio is specifically designed for endomorph women to support fat loss while maintaining muscle mass.

3. Importance of Macro Calculation

Details: Proper macronutrient distribution is crucial for endomorph women to optimize metabolism, manage insulin sensitivity, and achieve body composition goals.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your daily calorie target. The calculator will automatically determine your optimal protein, carbohydrate, and fat intake in grams.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why this specific ratio for endomorph women?
A: The higher protein helps maintain muscle, moderate fat supports hormone health, and lower carbs help manage insulin sensitivity common in endomorphs.

Q2: Should I adjust these ratios?
A: These are starting recommendations. Some women may benefit from slightly more carbs on workout days or adjusting fat intake based on personal preference.

Q3: How do I know if I'm an endomorph?
A: Typical characteristics include rounder body shape, tendency to gain fat easily, and difficulty losing weight with standard approaches.

Q4: What if I'm very active?
A: Active endomorph women might increase carbs to 30% of calories on training days while reducing fat to 35%.

Q5: How should I time my macros?
A: Endomorphs often benefit from consuming most carbs around workouts and keeping fat intake higher at other meals.
