1. What is the Women's Macro Calculator?

The Women's Macro Calculator estimates daily macronutrient requirements based on total calorie intake. It provides a balanced distribution of protein, fat, and carbohydrates specifically tailored for women's nutritional needs.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

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

Where:

\( Calories \) — Total daily calorie intake (kcal)
\( Protein \) — Protein requirement in grams
\( Fat \) — Fat requirement in grams
\( Carbs \) — Carbohydrate requirement in grams

Explanation: The equation divides calories into 25% protein, 30% fat, and 45% carbohydrates, then converts these percentages to grams using the calorie values per gram (4 kcal/g for protein and carbs, 9 kcal/g for fat).

3. Importance of Macro Calculation

Details: Proper macronutrient distribution is essential for maintaining energy levels, supporting metabolic functions, achieving fitness goals, and ensuring overall health and wellbeing for women.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your total daily calorie requirement in kcal. The calculator will automatically compute your recommended protein, fat, and carbohydrate intake in grams per day.
