Description

stable

Calculate carbohydrate, protein and fat balance in grams based on the estimated daily total energy expenditure (TDEE). The acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges (AMDR) are 45–65% of your daily calories from carbs, 20–35% from fats and 10–35% from protein.

Usage

calculate_macros(tdee, balance = c(c = 0.5, p = 0.25, f = 0.25))

Arguments

tdee	Total daily energy expenditure
balance	Macro balance. Should sum to 1, Default: c(c = 0.5, p = 0.25, f = 0.25)

Details

Translating to grams is as followed:

• 1 gram of protein equals 4 calories

• 1 gram of carbohydrates equals 4 calories

• 1 gram of fat equals 9 calories
