Using Macro calculator
Convert your calorie target and protein/fat percentages to grams; the remaining calories go to carbohydrate.
This converts an allocation you supply. The example percentages are illustrative, not a recommended diet. Protein and carbohydrate use 4 kcal/g and fat uses 9 kcal/g. Alcohol, fiber and food-specific energy factors are excluded. Individual needs and medical diets require individualized advice.
A worked example
For daily calories you have chosen (kcal) = 2000, protein share of calories (%) = 25, fat share of calories (%) = 30, carbohydrate (g) = 225.
Before you use the result
This converts an allocation you supply. The example percentages are illustrative, not a recommended diet. Protein and carbohydrate use 4 kcal/g and fat uses 9 kcal/g. Alcohol, fiber and food-specific energy factors are excluded. Individual needs and medical diets require individualized advice.
Example results for daily calories you have chosen (kcal)
These examples use Protein share of calories (%): 25; Fat share of calories (%): 30. They are reference calculations, not recommended settings.
| Daily calories you have chosen (kcal) | Carbohydrate (g) |
|---|---|
| 1000 | 112.5 |
| 2000 | 225 |
| 4000 | 450 |
