Macro Calculator by Meal Prep on Fleek 

Find your macronutrient ratio for flexible eating so you can build a meal plan around your ideal ratio of proteins, carbs, and fats!

The macro calculator below can help you determine your daily targets for three goals:

  • Weight loss

  • Overall health and weight maintenance

And if you'd like to use the calculator to determine your targets for the macros of your choice—say, you're starting a ketogenic diet and want to know how many grams of fats make up 80 percent of your calories—you can select your specific diet in Step 3.

Lastly, if you're looking for an easy way to create a meal plan, based on your specific macros, we created this Macro Meal Planner for premium members.

Does it fit your Macros...

Will it fit my macros is a common saying in the meal prep and healthy lifestyle space. The mentality is, if I know exactly what you should be eating (based on my personalized macronutrient numbers) to lose fat, put on muscle, or maintain weight, then it doesn't matter if you eat pizza, brownies, cookies, or a salad. Is that really the case? Do I need a Macro calculator after all? So, we ask...

What Are Macronutrients?

Macronutrients are the food categories that provide you with the energy to carry out our basic human functions, and they are broken down into three categories; protein, fats, and carbohydrates. By definition, A macronutrient is, “a type of food (e.g., fat, protein, carbohydrate) required in large amounts in order to satisfy the human diet.”  When you know how to calculate your macros then it's easy to figure out how much energy you're putting in your body every day and how much energy you need to burn off. If you're putting in less energy than your burning off, essentially, you'll lose weight. Read more here: Guide to Calculating Macronutrients
