How to use: Enter your daily calories (use our calorie calculator if unsure), choose a split or type your own percentages, and pick meals per day.

Turn your daily calories into grams of protein, carbs and fat, per day and per meal.

How macros are calculated

Grams = calories × percentage ÷ calories per gram (4 for protein and carbs, 9 for fat). Your percentages must add up to 100%.

Choosing a split

Find your calorie target with the calorie calculator and your protein needs with the protein intake calculator.

VSH take: food quality matters as much as the numbers. Teens, pregnant people and anyone with a medical condition should follow a doctor or dietitian.
