Macro Calculator
Find the perfect balance of macronutrients for your body and your goals.
Our Macro Calculator helps you determine the ideal daily intake of protein, fat, and carbohydrates based on your weight and preferred macronutrient ratio. Whether you’re focused on fat loss, muscle gain, or simply maintaining a healthy diet, getting your macros right is essential.
What Are Macros?
Macronutrients — or “macros” — are the three primary sources of calories your body uses for energy:
- Protein: Builds and repairs muscle and tissue.
- Fat: Supports hormone production, brain function, and energy storage.
- Carbohydrates: Your body’s main energy source, especially during physical activity.
Each macronutrient provides a different number of calories per gram:
- Protein: 4 calories/gram
- Carbohydrates: 4 calories/gram
- Fat: 9 calories/gram
How This Calculator Works
Just enter your body weight in kilograms and the percentage of daily calories you’d like to come from:
- Protein
- Fat
- Carbs
Once you click “Calculate Macros,” you’ll see exactly how many grams of each macronutrient you should consume daily.
