Question 1

What is a macro calculator?

Accepted Answer

A macro calculator gives you personalised daily protein, carbohydrate and fat targets based on your weight, height, age, activity level and goal (fat loss, maintenance or muscle gain).

Question 2

How does the SmartyGym macro calculator set protein?

Accepted Answer

Protein is anchored to bodyweight (typically 1.6–2.2 g/kg depending on goal) so you preserve lean mass in a deficit and support muscle gain in a surplus.

Question 3

Can I use the macro calculator while losing weight?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pick the 'fat loss' goal and the macro calculator applies an evidence-based caloric deficit and a protein floor to protect lean mass.

Question 4

Is the macro calculator free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The macro calculator is free, requires no signup, and saves your results in your SmartyGym logbook if you're signed in.
