Macro Calculator
The macro calculator derives daily protein, carbs, and fats from the athlete’s goal, bodyweight, and training day vs rest day — so you don’t have to type numbers from scratch.
What It Does
When setting up or editing a nutrition plan, click Calculate macros to generate starting targets based on:
| Input | Options |
|---|
| Goal | Cut, Maintain, Recomp, Bulk |
| Bodyweight | Pulled from athlete profile if set, otherwise enter manually |
| Day type | Training day vs rest day (separate macro splits) |
Cuts pull calories below maintenance with protein held high. Bulks add a moderate surplus weighted toward carbs. Recomp keeps calories near maintenance with protein elevated. Training days get more carbs than rest days at the same daily total.
How to Use It
- Open the athlete’s Nutrition tab and click New Plan (or edit an existing one)
- Click Calculate macros
- Pick the goal and confirm bodyweight
- The calculator fills protein / carbs / fat / calories for both training and rest days
- Adjust any field manually before saving — the calculator is a starting point, not a lock
Who It’s For
Available on all coach plans (Basic, Pro, Expert). Use it whenever you’d otherwise be typing macro numbers by hand — the calculator pairs naturally with macros-only plans and full meal-based plans alike.
Re-run the calculator whenever the athlete’s bodyweight changes meaningfully (every 4–6 weeks on a cut or bulk) to keep targets aligned with current trajectory.
