Frequently asked questions

How many calories are in a gram of protein, carbs and fat?

Protein and carbohydrate each provide about 4 calories per gram, while fat provides about 9 calories per gram. That's why fat makes up fewer grams than its calorie share might suggest.

Which macro split should I choose?

It depends on your goals. A balanced split works for general health; higher protein supports muscle retention when cutting; low-carb and keto suit some people's preferences. None is universally 'best' — consistency matters more than the exact ratio.
