1. What is Team Pro Physique Macro Calculator?

The Team Pro Physique Macro Calculator helps athletes and fitness enthusiasts determine their optimal macronutrient (protein, carbs, and fat) intake based on their body weight, goals, and activity level.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following approach:

Where:

• Protein — Based on body weight and goal (cutting: 2.2g/kg, maintenance: 2.0g/kg, bulking: 1.8g/kg)
• Fat — 25% of total calories (9 calories per gram)
• Carbs — Remaining calories after protein and fat (4 calories per gram)
• Total Calories — Based on Harris-Benedict equation adjusted for activity level and goal

3. Importance of Macro Calculation

Details: Proper macronutrient distribution is crucial for achieving fitness goals, whether it's fat loss, muscle maintenance, or muscle gain. It helps optimize body composition and performance.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current body weight in kg, select your goal (cutting, maintenance, or bulking), and choose your activity level. The calculator will provide your recommended daily macros.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Should I hit these macros exactly?
A: These are targets. Being within ±5-10g is generally fine. Consistency over time matters more than daily perfection.

Q2: How often should I recalculate my macros?
A: Recalculate every 4-6 weeks or after significant weight changes (±5kg).

Q3: Are these macros suitable for everyone?
A: These are general recommendations. Individual needs may vary based on metabolism, training intensity, and other factors.

Q4: What if I'm vegetarian/vegan?
A: The protein targets remain the same, but you'll need to focus on plant-based protein sources.

Q5: How should I adjust for training vs. rest days?
A: You might reduce carbs slightly on rest days and increase on training days while keeping protein and fat consistent.
