Why Macro Tracking Matters?
While calories determine whether you lose or gain weight, macronutrients (macros) determine how you feel and perform.
- Protein (4 kcal/g): Essential for muscle repair, growth, and satiety. High protein diets can help preserve lean mass during weight loss.
- Carbohydrates (4 kcal/g): The body's primary energy source. Important for high-intensity training and brain function.
- Fats (9 kcal/g): Crucial for hormone regulation, nutrient absorption, and general health.
Choosing a Diet Type
Different goals require different macro splits. Our calculator supports:
- Balanced: A sustainable mix for general health (30% Protein / 35% Carbs / 35% Fat).
- High Protein: Ideal for athletes and muscle building (40% Protein / 30% Carbs / 30% Fat).
- Low Carb: Reduces carb intake for stable blood sugar (40% Protein / 20% Carbs / 40% Fat).
- Keto: Strict low carb for ketosis (25% Protein / 5% Carbs / 70% Fat).
- Low Fat: Prioritizes carbs and protein (35% Protein / 50% Carbs / 15% Fat).
