Frequently Asked Questions

What are macronutrients?+
Macronutrients (macros) are the three main nutrients that provide calories: protein (4 cal/g), carbohydrates (4 cal/g), and fat (9 cal/g). Tracking macros helps you control body composition, not just total calories.
How much protein do I need?+
For muscle gain: 0.7-1.0 grams per pound of body weight. For maintenance: 0.5-0.7 grams per pound. For fat loss: 0.8-1.2 grams per pound (higher protein preserves muscle during a calorie deficit).
Which macro split should I choose?+
Balanced (30/40/30) works for most people. High protein (40/35/25) is best for muscle gain. Low carb (40/20/40) suits people who feel better on fewer carbs. Keto (30/5/65) is for people adapted to ketosis, with very low carbs.
Do I need to hit my macros exactly?+
No. Hit your protein target within +/- 5 grams (most important), and carbs and fat can be flexible. Hitting your calorie target matters most, followed by protein. Carbs and fat can flex based on preference.
