The calculator uses the following formulas:
Where:
Explanation: The calculator distributes calories according to a 30% protein, 30% fat, and 40% carbohydrate ratio, which is optimal for female fat loss.
Details: Proper macronutrient distribution is crucial for effective fat loss, muscle preservation, hormonal balance, and sustainable weight management in females.
Tips: Enter your daily calorie target in kcal/day. The calculator will automatically compute the optimal protein, fat, and carbohydrate distribution for female fat loss.
Q1: Why this specific macronutrient ratio for female fat loss?
A: The 30/30/40 ratio provides adequate protein for muscle preservation, healthy fats for hormonal balance, and sufficient carbs for energy during fat loss.
Q2: Should I adjust these ratios based on my activity level?
A: Highly active individuals may need slightly higher carbohydrate intake, while sedentary individuals might benefit from slightly lower carb ratios.
Q3: How often should I recalculate my macros?
A: Recalculate every 4-6 weeks or after significant weight loss (5-10 lbs) to adjust for metabolic changes.
Q4: Are there medical conditions that require different ratios?
A: Yes, conditions like PCOS, thyroid disorders, or insulin resistance may require customized macronutrient distributions.
Q5: Can I use this calculator for weight maintenance?
A: While designed for fat loss, the same ratios can be used for maintenance by increasing total calorie intake accordingly.
