Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Mifflin-St Jeor equation?
It's a formula used to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which represents the calories your body burns at rest. It's considered one of the most accurate methods for estimating daily calorie needs.
How accurate are these calculations?
These provide a good starting point, but individual metabolism varies. Track your progress for 2-3 weeks and adjust if needed. Weight changes of 0.5-1 lb per week indicate appropriate calorie levels.
Should I eat the same macros every day?
For most people, consistent daily macros work well. However, some prefer carb cycling (more carbs on training days). The key is hitting your weekly averages.
What if I'm not losing/gaining weight?
Adjust your calories by 200-300 per day and monitor for 1-2 weeks. Metabolism and activity levels vary, so personal adjustment is normal.
Do I need to hit exact macro numbers?
Aim to be within 5-10g of your targets. Protein is most important to hit consistently; fat and carbs have more flexibility as long as total calories are on target.
