Frequently Asked Questions
How much protein do I need per day?
For muscle building: 0.7–1.0g per pound of bodyweight (1.6–2.2g per kg). For fat loss while preserving muscle: 0.8–1.2g per pound. For general health: 0.36g per pound (0.8g per kg) is the RDA minimum.
What is a macro split and which should I use?
Common macro splits: 40% carb / 30% protein / 30% fat (balanced), 20% carb / 40% protein / 40% fat (low-carb/keto-leaning), 50% carb / 25% protein / 25% fat (athletic performance). Your ideal split depends on preference, activity type, and goal.
Do carbohydrates make you gain fat?
Excess calories cause fat gain, not carbs specifically. Carbohydrates are the primary fuel for high-intensity exercise and brain function. Restricting carbs can help with fat loss for some people through appetite reduction and adherence, not metabolic magic.
How do I track my macros?
Use a food tracking app (MyFitnessPal, Cronometer, or Lose It!) to log meals. Weigh food with a kitchen scale for accuracy. Most people see results from tracking consistently for 4+ weeks rather than perfect accuracy from day one.
Should I adjust macros on rest days vs training days?
Optional. Some athletes do "carb cycling" — higher carbs on training days, lower on rest days — while keeping weekly totals constant. For beginners, using the same daily targets is simpler and equally effective.
Is the Macro Calculator free to use?
Yes, the Macro Calculator on Allio Tools is completely free with no sign-up or registration required. It works directly in your browser.

See our <a href="/methodology/">Methodology page</a> for full formula sources and references. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before making medical or dietary decisions.
