Macronutrient Calculator

Calculate your daily protein, carbohydrate, and fat targets based on your TDEE and goals.

Ratio: 30% protein / 40% carbs / 30% fat

What Is the Macronutrient Calculator?

Macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fat) provide calories. Protein and carbs have 4 kcal/g; fat has 9 kcal/g. Optimal macro ratios depend on your fitness goals.

Formula

P:C:F ratio varies by goal

How to Use

Enter your daily calorie target and select your goal (weight loss, maintenance, muscle gain, or keto). The calculator shows daily grams of protein, carbohydrates, and fat.

Example Calculation

2000 kcal for muscle gain: 30% protein (150g), 40% carbs (200g), 30% fat (67g) = 2001 kcal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much protein do I need?

For muscle building, 1.6–2.2g of protein per kg of body weight is well-supported by research. For general health, 0.8g/kg is the minimum.

What is a ketogenic diet?

Keto uses a very high fat (70%), moderate protein (25%), and very low carb (5%) ratio to induce ketosis.

Should I count fiber?

Dietary fiber is a carbohydrate but provides minimal calories and improves satiety. Many people track net carbs (total carbs minus fiber).
