A practical guide to protein, carbs, fat, flexible eating, and sustainable results — with a macro-friendly recipe section and companion calculators so you can turn the book into action.
The first part teaches the framework. The recipe section gives you meals and momentum. Use the calculators below after you understand the basics — that is what makes the numbers more useful.
Learn how calories, protein, carbs, and fats work together without turning nutrition into a full-time job.
Practical, macro-friendly meals you can repeat when life is busy, you are traveling, or you simply need structure.
The calculator is not meant to replace the book. It is meant to make the math easier after you understand what the numbers mean.
Start with the macro foundations so protein, carbs, fats, and calories make sense.
Enter your details to get a starting estimate for calories and macros.
Use 2–3 weeks of consistency, energy, hunger, training, and weekly averages before changing targets.
Start with the online calculator below or download the spreadsheet if you want to save your results. Use the recipe calculator only when you want macros for homemade recipes or meal prep.
Best for setting your starting calories, protein, carbs, and fats.

Best for homemade meals, recipe cards, meal prep, and cookbook recipes.
