What this tool does
The Macro Calculator converts your body stats and goal into a daily calorie target and a concrete split of protein, carbs, and fat in grams. Pick a diet style — balanced, low carb, high protein, or keto — and see the split as a donut plus a per-macro calorie breakdown.
How it works
It estimates BMR with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, multiplies by your activity level for TDEE, adjusts for your goal, then divides the calorie target by your diet’s macro ratio. Grams come from the Atwater factors: 4 kcal/g for protein and carbs, 9 kcal/g for fat.
A note on accuracy
This is an informational estimate, not medical or dietary advice. The formulas are population averages; individual needs vary with genetics, health, and training. Treat the targets as a starting point and consult a doctor or registered dietitian before significant changes, especially aggressive deficits.
Free vs Pro
The free calculator runs one scenario and stores nothing. A proposed Macro Pro would add saved profiles, per-meal breakdowns, custom gram targets, and exports — while the single-shot calculator stays free.
