Macro Calculator

Calculate daily protein, carbs, and fat targets from your TDEE. Goals: lose, maintain, gain.

Your Goals

Use our Calorie Calculator to find your TDEE

Protein: 4 cal/g, Carbs: 4 cal/g, Fat: 9 cal/g. Lose = -500 cal, Gain = +300 cal.

What is a Macro Calculator?

A macro calculator helps you determine your daily targets for protein, carbohydrates, and fat based on your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) and your goal—whether you want to lose weight, maintain, or gain muscle.

How Macros Work

Calories per Gram

  • Protein: 4 calories per gram
  • Carbohydrates: 4 calories per gram
  • Fat: 9 calories per gram

Common Macro Splits

Goal Adjustments

  • Lose weight: TDEE - 500 calories (≈0.5 kg/week loss)
  • Maintain: TDEE
  • Gain muscle: TDEE + 300 calories

How Our Calculator Works

  1. Enter TDEE: Use our Calorie Calculator to find your daily calorie needs
  2. Choose goal: Lose, maintain, or gain
  3. Set macro split: Percentages for protein, carbs, fat (must total 100%)
  4. Get results: Daily calories and grams for each macro

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TDEE?

Total Daily Energy Expenditure—the number of calories you burn per day including activity. Use our Calorie Calculator to estimate it.

How much protein do I need?

General recommendation: 0.8–1.2g per kg body weight for maintenance. For muscle building: 1.6–2.2g per kg. Our calculator lets you set your preferred split.

Is 30/40/30 a good split?

It’s a balanced starting point. Athletes often use higher protein (40/30/30). Low-carb diets use higher fat. Adjust based on your preferences and goals.
