1. What is the Men's Health Macro Calculator?

The Men's Health Macro Calculator provides optimal macronutrient distribution based on your daily calorie intake, following the recommended 30% protein, 30% fat, and 40% carbohydrates ratio for men's health and fitness goals.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

\[ Protein = 30\% \times \frac{Calories}{4} \] \[ Fat = 30\% \times \frac{Calories}{9} \] \[ Carbs = 40\% \times \frac{Calories}{4} \]

Where:

\( Calories \) — Total daily calorie intake (kcal)
Protein calculated at 4 calories per gram
Fat calculated at 9 calories per gram
Carbs calculated at 4 calories per gram

Explanation: The calculator distributes your total calories according to the optimal macronutrient ratio for men's health and fitness.

3. Importance of Macro Distribution

Details: Proper macro distribution is essential for muscle building, energy levels, hormone production, and overall health. The 30/30/40 ratio provides balanced nutrition for active men.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your total daily calorie intake in kcal. The calculator will automatically compute the optimal protein, fat, and carbohydrate distribution for men's health.
