What Are Macronutrients?

Macronutrients — protein, carbohydrates and fat — are the three main nutrient groups that provide energy. Each plays a distinct role in the body, and the optimal ratio depends on your goals, lifestyle and health status.

How Macros Are Calculated

Recommended Protein Intakes

For general health: 0.8 g/kg bodyweight (RDA). For active individuals: 1.4–2.0 g/kg. For muscle gain: 1.6–2.2 g/kg. For cutting with resistance training: up to 2.4–3.1 g/kg to preserve lean mass. Protein has 4 calories per gram and is the most satiating macronutrient.

Diet Preset Splits

Cut (40P/35C/25F): High protein preserves muscle in a deficit. Moderate carbs fuel training. Bulk (30P/45C/25F): Higher carbs support training intensity and glycogen replenishment. Keto (25P/5C/70F): Minimal carbs to induce ketosis. Low Carb (35P/25C/40F): Reduced carbs, higher fat — suits those with insulin sensitivity. High Protein (40P/35C/25F): Optimised for athletes and resistance trainers.

Individual needs vary significantly based on health status, medical conditions and specific training goals. Consult a registered dietitian for personalised guidance.

// Protein First

Hit your protein target every day — it's the hardest macro to get wrong and the most important for body composition.

// Track for 2 Weeks

Track your food accurately for 2 weeks before adjusting targets. Most people significantly underestimate portions.

// Fat Is Essential

Don't drop fat below ~20% of calories. Fat is essential for hormone production, vitamin absorption and cell function.

// Carbs and Training

Time your largest carbohydrate meals around training — pre-workout for energy, post-workout for glycogen replenishment.
