Formula

Protein g = kcal × protein% / 400; carbs g = kcal × carb% / 400; fat g = kcal × fat% / 900.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a medical diagnosis?

No. It is an educational estimate and cannot diagnose a condition or replace individualized professional advice.

Why can my actual result differ?

Percentage splits are planning choices; digestion and labeling can differ from calculated grams.

When is this calculator most useful?

Use it after you already have a calorie target and want gram splits that sum to 100%.

How are results rounded?

The calculation retains full precision; centralized display formatting rounds only the visible result.
