The calculator uses the following formulas:
Where:
Explanation: These ratios are commonly recommended for individuals engaged in weight lifting to support muscle protein synthesis, provide energy for workouts, and maintain overall health.
Details: Proper macronutrient distribution is crucial for muscle recovery, growth, and performance optimization. Adequate protein supports muscle repair, carbohydrates fuel workouts, and fats support hormone production.
Tips: Enter your current body weight in kilograms. The calculator will provide daily recommendations for protein, carbohydrates, and fat intake tailored for weight lifting activities.
Q1: Are these macro ratios suitable for everyone?
A: These are general guidelines for weight lifters. Individual needs may vary based on training intensity, goals, and metabolism.
Q2: Should I adjust these ratios for cutting or bulking?
A: Yes, during cutting phases you might reduce carbs slightly, while bulking may require increased overall calories, primarily from carbs.
Q3: How often should I recalculate my macros?
A: Recalculate whenever your body weight changes significantly (2-3 kg) or when your training intensity changes substantially.
Q4: Are there any limitations to this calculation?
A: This provides general guidelines. Individual factors like metabolism, training volume, and specific goals may require adjustments.
Q5: Should I distribute these macros evenly throughout the day?
A: It's generally recommended to distribute protein evenly across meals and time carbohydrates around workouts for optimal results.
