Formula used

Protein and carbs provide 4 kcal/gram; fat provides 9 kcal/gram. Each macro's calorie share is divided by its kcal/gram value.

Example: 2,000 kcal at 30/40/30 split → protein 150g, carbs 200g, fat 66.7g.

How to use this calculator

Frequently asked questions

Do my percentages need to add up to 100%?

For the calorie math to be internally consistent, yes — check that protein% + carbs% + fat% = 100.

What macro split is 'best'?

It depends on individual goals and preferences — there's no single universal ratio, and many effective approaches exist.

Why does fat use 9 kcal/gram while protein and carbs use 4?

This reflects the actual average energy density of each macronutrient.

Should I consult a nutritionist for my macro targets?

Yes, especially for specific health goals or medical conditions.
