    your goals. So if you think you're on the border between two choices, and

  <polyline points="6 9 12 15 18 9"></polyline>
</svg>
</button></h2> <div aria-labelledby="macro-targets-header" class="body svelte-10n7j0r" id="macro-targets-body" hidden=""><p data-svelte-h="svelte-175sp1k">We make some macronutrient suggestions based on your goals, physical stats,
    and selected diet type. Our goal with these suggestions is to make sure
    you're getting at least a minimum amount of each macronutrient, while
    leaving you plenty of flexibility to get food suggestions that you enjoy.</p> <h3 class="svelte-1s15s5o" data-svelte-h="svelte-vj6j0t">Carbs</h3> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-1kq4bbs">We scale carbs based on your activity level, weight, and goal. Carbs are
    relatively easy for your body to convert into energy, so if you're more
    active, you'll need more of them. If more sedentary, you'll need less. Carbs
    also tend to be less satiating, so if your goal is lose weight, it can be
    easier to feel full with a low carb diet, and if your goal is to gain
    weight, it can be easier to eat more and perform better with a high carb
    diet.</p> <h3 class="svelte-1s15s5o" data-svelte-h="svelte-1ex000b">Protein</h3> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-4x2qiv">There are a few things to consider with protein.</p> <ul data-svelte-h="svelte-rqxzm1"><li>The RDA for protein is 0.36 grams per pound of bodyweight (0.8g/kg) per
      day.</li> <li>0.82g/lb (1.81g/kg) is thought to be the upper bound of useful protein
      intake before it stops improving muscle building [
      <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22150425/">Phillips &amp; Van Loon, 2011
      </a>]</li> <li>Protein intakes of up to 1.1g/lb (2.4g/kg) have been shown to improve the
      quality of weight loss (i.e. more fat, less muscle loss) in athletes [
      <a href="https://journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/ijsnem/28/2/article-p170.xml?content=fulltext">Hector &amp; Phillips, 2017
      </a>]</li></ul> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-1b542az">Most people will do just fine by following the RDA, but we tend to estimate
    a bit higher for the supposed benefits. We adjust based on your activity
    level, selected bodyfat (lower bodyfat means more lean muscle mass, and thus
    a higher protein requirement), and goals. Proteins also tend to be the most
    satiating macronutrient, so if your goal is to lose weight, it can be easier
    to feel full with a high protein diet.</p> <h3 class="svelte-1s15s5o" data-svelte-h="svelte-1nqmkoz">Fat</h3> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-1oca5sr">Fat is essential for hormone production, nutrient absorption, and proper
    overall health. It's also key in making a lot of things taste really good.
    It's often suggested not to go below a fat intake of 0.3g/lb (0.66g/kg) of
    bodyweight, as it can be difficult to get enough essential fatty acids and
    fat soluble vitamins below that level. We suggest at least 0.3g/lb for
    people trying to lose weight, and at least 0.5g/lb for people trying to
    maintain or gain.</p> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-1tj3ioy">If you're interested in a more specific macronutrient breakdown, we suggest
    you consult a dietitian. They can help you determine the best macronutrient
    targets for your specific goals and lifestyle. You can also use any other
    calculator you like, and plug your numbers into Eat This Much to get meal
    plans that match.</p></div></section> <section id="percentages" class="svelte-10n7j0r"><h2 class="svelte-10n7j0r"><button aria-controls="percentages-body" aria-expanded="false" id="percentages-header" type="button" class="svelte-10n7j0r">Can I just use percentages as my macro targets? <svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="feather">

    recommend it for most people. Your body doesn't care about specific ratios
    of macronutrients. It cares about getting enough of each nutrient to
    function properly and repair itself, and everything extra will be turned
    into energy as fuel or stored as fat.</p> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-se75yv">The reason macronutrient percentages are popular is because they're a simple
    way to communicate targets, and they can be a good starting point for
    thinking about nutrition. However, they can be unnecessarily restrictive,
    and if you're using a platform like Eat This Much to handle your
    calculations for you, there's no reason to limit yourself by trying to hit
    an exact percentage.</p></div></section> <section id="how-it-works" class="svelte-10n7j0r"><h2 class="svelte-10n7j0r"><button aria-controls="how-it-works-body" aria-expanded="false" id="how-it-works-header" type="button" class="svelte-10n7j0r">How is the Calorie target calculated? <svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="feather">

    to estimate your
    <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1091498/">Basal Metabolic Rate
    </a>, plus an "Activity Factor" multiplier to estimate your total daily
    Calorie needs. We also make some rough macronutrient suggestions, but you're
    free to completely customize these numbers when you create a free account.</p> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-19draur">Keep in mind that this is a rough estimate. The best way to determine your
    true Calorie needs is to track your intake for a week or two, and then based
    on your progress, adjust your numbers. <strong>Err in the direction of your goals!</strong>
    So if you want to lose weight, it's better to underestimate your needs a bit,
    and if you want to gain weight, it's better to overestimate.</p> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-p7pg86">And of course, be sure to consult a health professional before making any
    major changes to your diet.</p></div></section> <section id="tdee" class="svelte-10n7j0r"><h2 class="svelte-10n7j0r"><button aria-controls="tdee-body" aria-expanded="false" id="tdee-header" type="button" class="svelte-10n7j0r">What is TDEE? <svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="feather">

    Calorie target that is 500 Calories above your TDEE.</p> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-1tk4yw3">If your goal is to build muscle, make sure you're lifting weights and eating
    enough protein. Without muscle stimulus, those extra Calories are more
    likely to get stored as fat.</p></div></section></aside></main> <footer class="svelte-whpart"><div class="svelte-whpart"><div class="footer svelte-1pq9u9i"><ul class="social svelte-1pq9u9i"><li class="svelte-1pq9u9i"><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/eat-this-much/id981637806?mt=8" class="svelte-1pq9u9i"><img alt="Get our iOS app from the App Store" src="/_app/immutable/assets/download-on-app-store.N6NH3f0w.svg" class="svelte-1pq9u9i"></a> </li><li class="svelte-1pq9u9i"><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eatthismuch" class="svelte-1pq9u9i"><img alt="Get our Android app on Google Play" src="/_app/immutable/assets/google-play-badge.2NFSwiDa.webp" class="svelte-1pq9u9i"></a> </li></ul> <div class="links svelte-1pq9u9i"><ul class="svelte-1pq9u9i"><li class="svelte-1pq9u9i"><a href="https://blog.eatthismuch.com/">Meal Planning Blog</a> </li><li class="svelte-1pq9u9i"><a href="/calculator">Calorie Calculator</a> </li><li class="svelte-1pq9u9i"><a href="/glossary">Nutrient Glossary</a> </li><li class="svelte-1pq9u9i"><a href="https://www.eatthismuch.com/app/account/subscription/send-gift">Gift Codes</a> </li><li class="svelte-1pq9u9i"><a href="/press">Press</a> </li><li class="svelte-1pq9u9i"><a href="/affiliate-program">For Affiliates</a> </li><li class="svelte-1pq9u9i"><a href="/privacy-policy">Privacy</a> </li><li class="svelte-1pq9u9i"><a href="/copyright">DMCA</a> </li><li class="svelte-1pq9u9i"><a href="/terms">Terms of Service</a> </li></ul></div> <ul class="social svelte-1pq9u9i"><li class="svelte-1pq9u9i"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/EatThisMuch" class="svelte-1pq9u9i"><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="feather feather-facebook">
