Macro splits are based on common evidence-informed ranges for fat loss, maintenance, and muscle gain. Individual needs vary.
Why These Macro Splits?
Fat Loss (Cut): Higher protein (≈1.8g/kg) helps preserve muscle mass during calorie deficit. Fat is kept moderate (~25%) to support hormones while prioritizing protein and controlled carbohydrates.
Maintenance: Balanced protein (~1.4g/kg), moderate fats (~27%), and flexible carbohydrates support steady energy and long-term adherence.
Muscle Gain (Bulk): Slightly higher fats (~30%) support hormonal function and calorie density, while sufficient protein (~1.6g/kg) supports muscle growth.
These ranges reflect commonly accepted sports nutrition guidelines. Individual variation applies.

Macro Myths & FAQs
Do I need low carbs to lose fat?
Fat loss depends primarily on total calorie balance, not eliminating carbohydrates. Lower-carb approaches may help some individuals control appetite, but sustainable fat loss comes from a consistent calorie deficit and adequate protein intake.
Is high protein harmful?
For healthy individuals, protein intakes in the range of 1.2–2.0g per kilogram bodyweight are generally considered safe. Higher protein supports muscle retention during fat loss and improves satiety, but medical conditions require supervision.
Should macro percentages be exact every day?
Macro distribution is a structured guideline, not a rigid rule. Weekly consistency matters more than hitting exact percentages every single day. Structured planning helps balance nutrition without obsession.
