1. What is the Macronutrient Calculator For Women?

This calculator provides recommended daily macronutrient distribution specifically for women based on a balanced ratio of 25% protein, 45% carbohydrates, and 30% fat of total daily caloric intake.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

\[ Protein = 25\% \times Calories / 4 \] \[ Carbs = 45\% \times Calories / 4 \] \[ Fat = 30\% \times Calories / 9 \]

Where:

\( Calories \) — Total daily caloric intake (kcal)
Protein calculation divides by 4 (4 calories per gram of protein)
Carbohydrate calculation divides by 4 (4 calories per gram of carbohydrate)
Fat calculation divides by 9 (9 calories per gram of fat)

Explanation: These formulas convert the percentage of calories from each macronutrient into grams based on their caloric density.

3. Importance of Macronutrient Balance

Details: Proper macronutrient distribution is essential for women's health, supporting hormone balance, energy levels, muscle maintenance, and overall metabolic function.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your total daily calorie target. The calculator will provide the recommended grams of protein, carbohydrates, and fat based on the standard balanced ratio for women.
