Formula

grams = (calories × percent) ÷ kcal-per-gram (4 protein, 4 carbs, 9 fat)

Example

2,200 kcal balanced → 165 g protein, 220 g carbs, 73 g fat.

Choosing a split

Balanced suits most people; higher protein helps preserve muscle in a deficit; keto restricts carbs below roughly 50 g to encourage ketosis. All can work — adherence decides outcomes more than ratios do.

Frequently asked questions

How much protein do I actually need?

Sedentary adults do fine near 0.8 g/kg; active people and dieters benefit from 1.6–2.2 g/kg of body weight.

Do fiber and sugar count inside carbs?

Yes — the carb figure is total carbohydrates; quality choices within it still matter.
