Start with your TDEE-based maintenance estimate, choose a goal, and compare macro splits for the same calorie target.

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 11 in (180 cm), 198 lb (90 kg), and a sedentary routine, this example estimates maintenance at 2,196 calories per day. It is a starting estimate for a routine with relatively little daily movement, not a fixed limit.
If you spend most of the day at a desk, small changes such as a regular lunchtime walk or walking during phone calls can make your routine more active. If those habits become consistent, review your activity level and recalculate rather than assuming the original estimate still applies.
