Example if my weight is 152.119 in pound then my protein in gram will be:-

Formula:-
Protein in gram = weight in pound × 1

So, my protein is 152.119 grams for a day.

2) Calculating Fat.

For calculating fat calculate your weight in pound than multiple your weight in pound by 0.4 you will get your fat in grams for a day.

Example if my weight is 152.119 in pound then my fat in gram will be:-

Formula:-
fat in gram = weight in pound × 0.4

So, my fat is 60.8476 grams for a day.

3) Calculating Carbohydrate.


For calculating your carbohydrate for a day first of all you have to calculate calories of protein and fat.

For calculating calories of fat and protein. We will take our data which I have told you above in this article that:-


  • Each gram of protein contains 4 calories.
  • Each gram of carbohydrate contains 4 calories.
  • Each gram of fat contains 9 calories.

For calculating carbohydrate you have to add calories of protein and calories of fat than subtract both by your maintenance calories which I have told you above to calculate now divided all by 4 you will get your carbohydrate in grams for a day.

Formula:-
Carbohydrate in gram = calories of protein + calories of fat - maintenance calories whole % 4.
