Macro Calculator

A macro split divides your daily calories into protein, carbohydrate and fat. This calculator turns the shares you choose into grams, so you can see a target for each one.

How it works

Protein and carbohydrate each give about 4 calories per gram. Fat gives about 9 calories per gram. Each share of your calories is worked out first, then divided by its calorie value.

The three shares should add up to 100%. The total line shows the sum, so you can see when it is off. The split is yours to choose, and this tool does not pick one for you.

Worked example

At 2,000 calories a day, with 30% protein, 40% carbs and 30% fat, the target is 5 oz of protein, 7 oz of carbs and 2 oz of fat.

Questions

Where should my calorie number come from?

Use a daily target from a plan you trust, or an estimate from a doctor or dietitian. This tool does not set a calorie figure.

Do I have to use these shares?

No. They are a starting point, and you can change any of them, as long as the three still add up to 100.

Are the grams the weight of the food?

No. They are the amount of protein, carbs or fat in your food. Nutrition labels list those amounts per serving.
