HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR MACRO NUTRIENTS AND THE
ERFECT ONLINE TOOL

  • There are three essential macronutrients that the
    body needs in order to function properly
    proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. These macros
    form the basis of flexible dieting. You can find
    out how much of these you need on a daily basis
    with the use of an online macronutrient
    calculator. There are many hormonal events that
    need to occur in your body in order to achieve a
    significant gain in muscle mass.
  • The level of success achieved in these endeavors
    is determined by the amount of growth hormone,
    insulin, and testosterone produced by the body
    and the time they are produced. These events are
    to a large extent affected by the amount,
    quality, timing, and the ratio of macronutrients
    consumed on daily basis. The role played by each
    of these macronutrients is outlined below.

Carbohydrates
  • Everyone loves carbohydrates. There is a high
    chance that most of your favorite foods are rich
    in carbohydrates. So what role do they play in
    the body? Your body needs carbohydrates to make
    glucose which is the energy that our bodies run
    on. Fiber which keeps the digestive system
    healthy is also rich in carbohydrates although it
    lacks calories.

4
Proteins
Proteins are essential for the growth of new
tissues as well as repair of broken tissues. If
you are on a workout plan, proteins should be
your new best friend. They enhance muscle
building as well as help to maintain muscles in
shape. One gram of proteins is equal to four
grams of calorie.
5
Fats
  • Fats have been demonized as the key reason why
    most people are fat. But that is not true. Fats
    are incredibly beneficial for meeting your
    workout goal though they affect our hormones too.
    Too little fat in our body can be very harmful.
    Our body uses fats as a backup source of energy
    when carbohydrates are not available. Fats also
    maintain proper body temperature and are also
    used to absorb certain vitamins known as
    fat-soluble.

How to Calculate your Macronutrients Requirements
  • Calculating your daily macronutrients goals is
    both the bread and butter basics that you will
    never really graduate from if you intend to
    maintain your body in shape. Everybody is unique
    in a way, and so your macro requirements will
    always differ from that one of your peers. To
    calculate your daily macro requirements, you can
    use free bodybuilding macronutrients calculator
    found here http//goo.gl/CYB1Yh.

How it works
  • Step 1 Use the calculator to estimate your daily
    calorie maintenance level. This is the number of
    calories required to maintain your current weight.
  • Step 2 The calculator will either add or deduct
    the right quantity of calories from your
    maintenance level to either create a calorie
    surplus necessary for muscle growth or a calorie
    deficit necessary for fat loss.

  • Step 3 The calculator will now express your
    calorie intake into an excellent amount of daily
    carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to help you to
    effectively meet your bodybuilding goal.

Its a simple process that takes no more than two
minutes and makes your bodybuilding diet as
simple as possible. You should keep in mind that
several macronutrients calculators exist and none
is perfect. The process should only be treated as
a starting point and needs to be adjusted with
time.

Important Basic Points to Note
  • 1.  If your goal is to lose fat, then you
    should aim for a total weight loss of between 1-2
    pounds per week. If you find yourself losing more
    than this, then you are losing a certain amount
    of muscle as well.
  • 2. If your goal is to gain muscle, then you
    should aim for a weight gain of about 0.5-1
    pounds per week. If you find yourself gaining
    more than this, then you are probably consuming
    an extra amount of fat.
