How do I calculate my macros for a balanced diet?
assistant
1. Start by calculating the number of calories you need to consume based on your age, gender, activity level, and current weight.
2. Use a macronutrient calculator or food tracking app to determine the amount of protein, carbohydrates, and fat you need to eat daily.
3. Divide your total calorie intake into percentages of protein, carbohydrates, and fat.
4. Use the percentages to calculate the number of grams of each macronutrient you should eat.
5. Make sure you’re getting a variety of nutrients in your diet by including foods of different colors, flavors, and textures.
