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 3 in (160 cm), 143 lb (65 kg), and a lightly active routine, this example estimates maintenance at 1,704 calories per day. It is an approximate daily energy estimate, not a personal health assessment or an exact intake requirement.
If your weekly schedule includes a mix of walking, errands, and occasional workouts, consider how often those activities happen—not just how demanding they feel on one day. Choose a realistic activity level and reassess the estimate when your usual routine changes.
