Calorie & Macro Split Calculator
Macronutrients are the metabolic building blocks: Protein repairs tissue, Fats regulate hormones, and Carbohydrates provide energy. Optimizing your ratio is key to achieving specific body composition goals.
This calculator allows you to apply standard clinical protocols (like Keto or Low Carb) or design a Custom Split tailored to your physician’s or dietitian’s advice. It also estimates your daily fiber needs.

Understanding Ratios
Macronutrients contain different energy densities: Protein and Carbs provide 4 kcal/gram, while Fats provide 9 kcal/gram.
- Balanced (30/35/35): Ideal for general health and maintenance.
- High Protein (40/30/30): Best for fat loss and muscle retention.
- Keto (25/70/5): A metabolic state utilizing fat for fuel.
- Dietary Fiber: The USDA recommends 14g of fiber for every 1,000 calories consumed to support heart and gut health.
