Discover key insights into your nutrition with practical guidance
This is the total amount of energy your body requires each day to function properly. It supports everything from basic bodily functions to your fitness activities. Remember! Our calculator gives you a helpful starting point for how much you can eat each day, however it can change based on your body composition or performance goals.
This is based on your activity level, goal, and injury status, supporting muscle repair and growth. Protein is essential for energy and can enhance performance while preventing injuries. Try to get at least 20 grams of protein per meal from sources like a palm-sized piece of chicken, fish, or lean meat, 2 cups of milk, or 3 eggs. Distribute your protein intake throughout the day, prioritizing whole foods over supplements.
Staying hydrated is essential for optimal performance and recovery. This calculation provides a good baseline for your fluid intake. Fluid needs can vary based on factors like exercise intensity, duration, climate, and individual sweat rates. Athletes may also require electrolytes (such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium) during prolonged activities or in hot conditions to maintain hydration and support muscle function.
You might be wondering about your carbohydrate and fat requirements; these may change based on your training or if you're recovering from an injury. Additionally, supplement needs can vary and should be tailored to individual goals and circumstances.
