Frequently Asked Questions

What are macros and why do they matter?

Macros (macronutrients) are protein, carbohydrates, and fat — the three main sources of calories in food. Tracking them helps you align your diet with goals like muscle gain, fat loss, or maintenance by controlling not just how much you eat, but what you eat.

How does this macro calculator determine my split?

The tool estimates your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) and then divides it into protein, carb, and fat targets based on the goal you select. Different goals shift the ratio — for example, higher protein for muscle building.

What is the difference between a macro calculator and a calorie calculator?

A calorie calculator gives you a total daily calorie target, while a macro calculator breaks that target into grams of protein, carbs, and fat. Use ToolPeg's calorie calculator first if you need the total, then this tool to split it into macros.

Should I follow macro targets exactly?

Macro targets are guidelines, not rigid rules. Hitting within 5-10 grams of each target is generally close enough. For medically specific nutrition plans, consult a registered dietitian.
