💪 Free Macro Calculator

Our free macro calculator determines your daily calorie needs and optimal macronutrient split (protein, carbs, and fat) based on your body metrics and fitness goal. Whether you want to lose weight, maintain, or build muscle, this macronutrient calculator gives you personalized targets. It uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to calculate your BMR and TDEE, then adjusts based on your goal and converts macros to grams.

This protein calculator follows a three-step process: first, it calculates your BMR using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation. Second, it multiplies by your activity factor to find TDEE. Third, it adjusts calories based on your goal and splits the remaining calories into protein, carbs, and fat.

Example: A 70kg person with 2,200 kcal TDEE on maintenance gets 140g protein, approx 233.7g carbs, and 78.3g fat.

Protein is set at 2.0g per kg body weight. Remaining calories are split ~57% carbs and ~43% fat.

Are these macros suitable for everyone?

They're designed for healthy adults with moderate fitness goals. Athletes, pregnant women, and individuals with medical conditions should consult a dietitian for personalized ratios.

Do I need to track my macros every day?

Consistency matters more than perfection. Tracking 80% of your meals is often enough to see results. Many people find success tracking 5-6 days per week and taking 1-2 flexible days.

How often should I recalculate my macros?

Recalculate after every 5-10 kg (10-20 lb) of weight change, or if your activity level significantly changes. As your body composition changes, your calorie needs change too.

Focus on food quality, not just macro numbers. Prioritize lean proteins, whole grains, vegetables, and healthy fats. Drink plenty of water (aim for 2-3 liters daily) and get 7-9 hours of sleep. Use a food scale for accuracy when starting out. Remember that your daily macros are targets, not limits - being within 5-10 grams is perfectly fine. Combine your macro tracking with regular exercise for the best results. Use our macro calculator weekly to stay on track with your goals.
