Macro Calculator

Macro Calculator – Balance Your Protein, Carbs & Fats the Smart Way

Calories tell you how much to eat.
Macros tell you what to eat.

At Aarogyaa Bharat, we believe nutrition should be simple, balanced, and realistic. You don’t need extreme diets or complicated rules just a clear understanding of how your body uses protein, carbohydrates, and fats.

The Macro Calculator helps you find the right daily breakdown of macronutrients based on your age, gender, height, weight, activity level, and goal so you can fuel your body properly and make progress without confusion.

What Are Macros (Macronutrients)?

Macros are the three main nutrients that provide energy and support essential body functions:

1. Protein

• Builds and repairs muscles

• Supports immunity and recovery

• Helps you feel full for longer

2. Carbohydrates

• Primary energy source for daily activity and exercise

• Supports brain function and endurance

3. Fats

• Essential for hormones and nutrient absorption

• Supports brain health and cell function

• Provides long-lasting energy

A healthy diet includes all three in the right balance.

Why Macro Balance Matters More Than Just Calories

Two people can eat the same number of calories and get very different results.

That’s because:

• High-protein diets support muscle and satiety

• Balanced carbs improve energy and performance

• Healthy fats support hormones and long-term health

Macro balance helps you:

• Lose fat without losing muscle

• Maintain steady energy levels

• Avoid extreme dieting

• Support sustainable health

How the Aarogyaa Bharat Macro Calculator Works

The Macro Calculator uses your personal details to calculate your daily calorie needs and then divides those calories into protein, carbs, and fats in a balanced way.

It considers:

• Age

• Gender

• Height (cm)

• Weight (kg)

• Activity level

• Your goal (maintain, lose, or gain weight)

The result is a clear daily macro target you can actually follow.

Understanding Activity Levels

Choosing the correct activity level improves accuracy:

• Sedentary: Desk work, little or no exercise

• Lightly Active: Light exercise or walking 1–3 days/week

• Moderately Active: Regular workouts or active routine

• Very Active: Intense exercise daily or physical job

Honest selection leads to better results.

Macro Distribution by Goal (General Guide)

Maintain Weight

• Protein: Moderate

• Carbs: Balanced

• Fats: Balanced

Focus is on energy, stability, and consistency.

Lose Weight

• Protein: Higher (to protect muscle)

• Carbs: Moderate

• Fats: Controlled

Supports fat loss while preserving strength and metabolism.

Gain Weight / Muscle

• Protein: Higher

• Carbs: Higher (for energy and growth)

• Fats: Adequate

Supports muscle building and healthy weight gain.

What Your Macro Result Means

Your result will show:

• Daily protein target (grams)

• Daily carbohydrate target (grams)

• Daily fat target (grams)

These numbers help you:

• Plan meals easily

• Balance your plate

• Avoid under-eating or overeating

You don’t need to hit exact numbers every day consistency over time matters more.

Example: How Macros Fit Into Daily Meals

A balanced day may look like:

• Protein spread across meals

• Carbs focused around activity

• Healthy fats included in moderation

This approach supports steady energy, better digestion, and long-term adherence.

Common Macro Myths – Cleared

Myth: Carbs cause weight gain
Truth: Excess calories cause weight gain - carbs are essential energy

Myth: Fat should be avoided
Truth: Healthy fats are essential for hormones and health

Myth: Protein alone builds muscle
Truth: Muscle growth needs protein, calories, training, and recovery
