Why track macros instead of just calories?↓
While calories determine weight change, macros determine **body composition**. Protein preserves muscle, while fats and carbs fuel your hormonal health and workouts.
How often should I recalculate?↓
We recommend recalculating every 5-10 lbs (2-5 kg) of weight change, as your BMR naturally adjusts as your total body mass decreases or increases.
Is the Mifflin-St Jeor equation accurate?↓
Yes, it is currently the industry gold standard. It is generally more accurate than the older Harris-Benedict equation, which tended to overestimate calorie needs.
What is the best macro ratio for fat loss?↓
There is no "perfect" ratio, but a common science-backed split is 30% Protein, 40% Carbs, and 30% Fat to maintain satiety while fueling fat-burning workouts.
Does age affect my metabolism?↓
Metabolism naturally slows down by about 1-2% per decade after age 20, primarily due to muscle loss. Resistance training is the best way to counteract this decline.
