Turn a calorie target into daily grams of protein, carbs and fat. Set your split (or use the balanced default) and get exact gram targets.

How macros work

Protein and carbs have 4 calories per gram; fat has 9. A common balanced split is 30% protein / 40% carbs / 30% fat, but athletes often run higher protein. Make sure your three percentages add up to 100%.

Frequently asked questions

What's a good macro split?

30/40/30 (protein/carbs/fat) is a balanced default; higher protein (e.g. 40/30/30) suits muscle-building or fat loss.

How much protein do I need?

Active people often aim for roughly 0.7–1 gram per pound of body weight; this tool lets you dial it via the percentage.
