Step 1: Choose your goal
Pick 1 of 5 calorie targets. Select a goal to preview its daily calories, weekly rate, and the 3 macro split options for that goal.
At 5 ft 5 in (165 cm), 132 lb (60 kg), and a lightly active routine, this example estimates maintenance at 1,850 calories per day. The number is a starting point for understanding daily energy needs, not a target you must hit exactly.
If your weekdays involve lots of sitting but your weekends are more active, choose the activity level that best represents your usual week. Keep your routine reasonably consistent while evaluating the estimate so that you can make a more useful comparison.
