For healthy adults. These are estimates, not medical advice. Ask a doctor or dietitian about your own targets — especially if you are pregnant, have a health condition or are under 18.

From calories to macros

protein and carbohydrates: 4 kcal per gram
fat: 9 kcal per gram
grams = calories × share ÷ kcal per gram

Example: 2,594 kcal with a balanced split (50% carbs, 20% protein, 30% fat) gives 324 g carbohydrates, 130 g protein and 86 g fat.

Diet presets

All presets stay close to common dietary guidance (45–65% carbs, 10–35% protein, 20–35% fat for adults); the low-carb preset deliberately goes below the carbohydrate range.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate my macros?

Find your daily calories, choose a split, multiply calories by each share and divide by 4 (protein, carbs) or 9 (fat).

What is a good macro split?

For most people a balanced split such as 50/20/30 works. More protein can help when losing weight or building muscle.
