Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I recalculate my fat intake?

Update your numbers whenever body weight, activity, or goals significantly change, roughly every four to eight weeks, or after larger shifts in training volume or lifestyle.

Can I eat below the minimum fat range?

Consistently going below the minimum band is not recommended. It may negatively affect hormones, recovery, mood, and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, especially during aggressive dieting or high training stress.

Does this calculator replace medical or dietitian advice?

No. It offers educational estimates based on widely accepted guidelines. People with medical conditions, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or specialized clinical needs should confirm targets with a qualified healthcare professional before making significant dietary changes.

Can I use this with high-fat or low-carb diets?

Yes. Choose values toward the higher band to support high-fat patterns while keeping protein sufficient. Ensure total calories and micronutrients remain appropriate for your context, performance, and health goals.

Which protein and carbohydrate targets work with these fat ranges?

Common starting points are 1.6–2.2 g protein per kilogram and the remaining calories from carbohydrates. Endurance, strength, or aesthetic athletes can adjust carbs up or down while keeping fats inside the calculated range.
