Protein anchored at 1.8–2.2 g/kg by training state; fat floor at 0.8–1.2 g/kg for hormonal health; carbs fill the remaining kcal budget. Pairs with Metabolic Floor for TDEE anchor.

Before you act on the result
Health-related tools are educational planning aids. They can make a number or assumption visible, but they do not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or replace clinician guidance.
If the result points to risk, symptoms, medication questions, or urgent changes, use it as a note for a qualified professional rather than a final decision.

Frequently asked questions
› Why anchor protein first? Troubleshooting
Protein is the only essential macro with demonstrated body-composition effects independent of kcal. Fat is essential for endocrine function. Carbs are discretionary energy.
› Is 2 g/kg too much protein? Trust & accuracy
No. Meta-analyses (Morton 2018) show 1.6 g/kg saturates MPS; higher intakes are neutral. Upper-bound safety supported to 3.5 g/kg for renal-healthy adults.
