Understanding the Macronutrient (Macro) Calculator

Worked example: At 2,500 kcal with 30% protein, 40% carbohydrate and 30% fat, the result is 187.5 g protein, 250 g carbohydrate and 83.33 g fat before display rounding.

Protein and carbohydrate supply 4 kcal per gram and fat 9. Percentages must total 100%. Macro quantities remain in grams, matching US nutrition labels.
