A planning tool, not medical advice. If you have a health condition, are pregnant or follow a prescribed diet, use the targets your doctor or dietitian gives you.

How this calculator works

Protein is set from body weight: about 2.2 g per kg (1 g per lb) when losing fat, 1.6 g per kg (0.7 g per lb) to maintain and 1.8 g per kg (0.8 g per lb) to build muscle, in line with common sports nutrition ranges of 1.6 to 2.2 g per kg.

Fat is set at 30% of calories (9 kcal per gram). The calories left go to carbohydrates (4 kcal per gram, protein also 4 kcal per gram). Each daily total is then divided by the number of prepped meals.
