Macro Planning Context

Maintenance plans work best when calorie intake, protein consistency, and training load are aligned. The calorie target drives weight trend; macros influence satiety, recovery, and performance.

Higher protein to support satiety and lean-mass retention. At 2800 kcal, this translates to 280 g protein, 210 g carbs, and 93 g fat daily.

Use weekly averages and gym performance to iterate. If adherence drops, keep calories stable and shift macro distribution toward your food preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these macro targets per day or per meal?

Values shown here are daily totals. You can distribute them across meals based on appetite and training schedule while keeping the daily totals consistent.

Can I keep calories the same and change the ratio?

Yes. The comparison table shows alternative splits at the same calorie level so you can match preferences without changing total energy intake.

How do I choose between weight-loss, maintenance, and muscle-gain goals?

Choose based on your current objective and trend data. Weight loss generally requires a calorie deficit, maintenance holds weight stable, and muscle gain usually needs a controlled surplus.
