Custom Nutrition Plan Calculator | Track Carbs, Protein & Fat Accurately

Maintaining a balanced diet is key to achieving your health and fitness goals. Whether your goal is weight loss, muscle gain, or maintaining a healthy lifestyle, tracking your macronutrients – carbohydrates, protein, and fat – is essential. The Custom Nutrition Plan Calculator helps you calculate daily intake based on your personal information, activity level, and fitness goals.

Why a Nutrition Plan Is Important

• Personalized Guidance: Get daily macronutrient targets tailored to your body and goals.
• Health Optimization: Supports balanced energy intake for optimal health.
• Fitness Goals: Helps muscle gain, fat loss, or weight maintenance efficiently.
• Track Progress: Make informed adjustments to diet and training plans.

Parameters Used in Calculation

• Weight: Your current body weight (kg or lbs).
• Activity Level: Sedentary, lightly active, moderately active, very active, extremely active.
• Fitness Goal: Weight loss, maintain weight, muscle gain, athlete/bodybuilding.
• Age & Gender: Adjusts metabolic rate and energy requirements.

Formulas for Macronutrient Calculation

The calculator uses the following approach:

• Daily Protein Intake (g): Weight (kg) × Protein Factor (g/kg based on goal)
• Daily Fat Intake (g): Weight (kg) × Fat Factor (g/kg based on goal)
• Daily Carbohydrate Intake (g): Calculated from remaining calories after protein and fat intake
• Total Daily Calories (kcal): Protein calories + Fat calories + Carb calories

Step-by-Step Example

Scenario: John is 75 kg, moderately active, and wants to gain muscle.
Protein Factor: 2.2 g/kg → 75 × 2.2 = 165 g protein
Fat Factor: 1 g/kg → 75 × 1 = 75 g fat
Calories: Protein: 165 × 4 = 660 kcal, Fat: 75 × 9 = 675 kcal
Total Daily Calories Goal: 3000 kcal
Remaining calories for carbs: 3000 − (660 + 675) = 1665 kcal
Carbs in grams: 1665 ÷ 4 = 416 g carbs
Result: 165 g protein, 75 g fat, 416 g carbs

How the Calculator Works

1. Enter your weight, age, gender, and activity level.
2. Select your fitness goal (weight loss, maintain, muscle gain, athlete/bodybuilding).
3. The calculator applies protein and fat factors according to your goal.
4. It calculates remaining calories and converts them into carbohydrate grams.
5. You get a personalized daily intake for protein, fat, and carbs.
