How to calculate macronutrients for weight loss

Not sure how to calculate macros? The Institute of Medicine's DRI (Daily Reference Intake) for macronutrients provides guidance on a healthy distribution range for macronutrients (see table below).

Macronutrient	DRI: Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges	MyNetDiary default
Carbohydrates	45—65% of total calories	45% of total calories
Protein	10—35% of total calories	20% of total calories
Fat	20-35% of total calories	35% of total calories

MyNetDiary’s defaults land comfortably within these ranges, which is a solid starting point for most people. If you follow an eating pattern that requires a different macronutrient distribution, you can customize your macronutrient targets with a Premium membership.

MyNetDiary Premium also lets you select from preset macro distributions for popular eating plans (low-carb, keto, low-fat, and more). Choose one of these dietary patterns under Diet Tools > My Diet.

Fixed macro gram targets

You may have a specific target for grams of carbohydrates, fat, or protein. For example, suppose you’d like to set a “fixed” target of 120 grams of carbohydrates per day. MyNetDiary has you covered! Head to: My Weight Goal & Plan > Macros > Set Custom Macros > Switch to Grams to lock in specific gram targets that won’t shift when your daily calorie budget changes. You can even fix two macro targets (e.g., protein and fat), which allows the third macronutrient (carbohydrates in this example) to flex and fill the gaps.

Macro cycling

Variety is the spice of life — and apparently, of dieting too. If you follow a carb-cycling plan or simply want different macro targets on different days of the week, the Macro Cycling feature lets you set custom targets for each day. Find it under "Cycling" in My Weight Goal & Plan on the dashboard.

Exercise macros

If you add exercise calories to your calorie budget, you may want a different macro distribution for these additional calories than in your baseline plan. For example, you may choose a higher carbohydrate percentage. You can easily adjust the distribution of your exercise calorie macros under Exercise Plan.

Seeing your macros in action

Tracking your macros doesn't have to feel like doing your taxes. MyNetDiary makes it pretty painless:

Food & meal-level macros: Go to App Settings > Diet Logging > Macros & Nutrients > Macros & Nutrients in Meals & Foods to show a macro chart breakdown of individual foods and meals at a glance.

Macro pie chart: Want a visual representation of your macro intake for the day? Then, go to "Customize Dashboard" and add the macro pie chart to your dashboard.

Macros by meal: See your macro distribution broken down by breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks — great for spotting where your day is going off the rails before dinner.
Bar chart: Compare your actual gram intake against your daily targets at a glance. Green bars are very satisfying, so aim for green bars!
