FAQs

What are macronutrients?

Macronutrients are the three main nutrients your body needs: protein (4 cal/g), carbohydrates (4 cal/g), and fat (9 cal/g). They provide energy and support various bodily functions.

Why are macro ratios different for each goal?

Different goals require different approaches. Cutting prioritizes protein to preserve muscle. Bulking emphasizes carbs for energy and muscle growth. Maintaining balances all three for general health.

Should I hit these numbers exactly?

These are targets, not strict requirements. Aim to be within 10-20% of your targets. Consistency over perfection matters more than hitting exact numbers daily.

What happens if I exceed my macros slightly?

Going slightly over your targets occasionally won't derail progress. What matters is consistency over time. Track weekly averages rather than obsessing over daily precision.

Can I adjust my macros for specific foods?

Yes! This calculator provides guidelines. You can swap foods to hit your targets. Use a food tracking app like MyFitnessPal to log meals and adjust portions as needed.
