The calculator uses the following formulas:
Where:
Explanation: The formula prioritizes protein intake to preserve muscle mass during fat loss, while allocating appropriate fat intake for hormone health and filling remaining calories with carbohydrates.
Details: Proper macronutrient distribution is crucial for effective fat loss while maintaining muscle mass, energy levels, and overall health. This calculator provides a balanced approach specifically for women doing bodyweight exercises.
Tips: Enter your current weight in kilograms and your daily calorie target. For best results, use a calorie target that creates a modest deficit (typically 300-500 kcal below maintenance).
Q1: Why 1.8g protein per kg?
A: This amount helps preserve lean muscle during fat loss, especially important when strength training (even with bodyweight exercises).
Q2: Can I adjust the fat percentage?
A: The calculator uses 30% of calories from fat as a balanced approach. For personalization, consult a nutritionist.
Q3: What if my carbs seem very low?
A: This may indicate your calorie target is too aggressive. Consider a smaller deficit for sustainability.
Q4: How often should I recalculate?
A: Recalculate every 2-4 weeks or with significant weight changes (±5kg).
Q5: Is this suitable for vegetarians/vegans?
A: Yes, but ensure you're getting complete protein sources if plant-based.
