MacroChef vs Macro & Calorie Calculator

Meal prep made ridiculously simple. Build your meals or pick the recipes you want for the week. Tell MacroChef how many portions to prepare. We adjust every ingredient quantity so that each meal hits your personal calorie and macro targets — no calculator, no manual conversions, no compromises on the recipes you actually want to cook. — BUILT FOR REAL MEAL PREP — Most nutrition apps make you track what you ate yesterday. MacroChef plans what you'll cook tomorrow. The output is a shopping list and exact ingredient weights, not another diary to fill in. — SMART BUILDER — Auto mode balances proteins, carbs, fats and produce to match your daily targets. Custom mode lets you set the calorie goal yourself. Either way, MacroChef respects your recipes — no swapping chicken for tofu without asking. — CHEF TIPS, NOT A REPORT CARD — Instead of grading your meal A to E, MacroChef coaches you. Missing a food group, low variety, an ingredient pinned too low — each tip comes with a clear action you can take in one tap. — FINE-TUNE WITHOUT MATH — Adjust any ingredient with a tap. Turn on Magnet mode to keep your daily macros aligned automatically as you edit. Switch any cooked ingredient to its raw weight (and back) with a single toggle — the macros stay correct in both directions. — WHAT'S INSIDE — - Auto-balanced and custom meal preps - Barcode scanner for new ingredients (Open Food Facts) - Apple Health sync for weight and height - Auto-generated shopping lists - English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish - Apple Health sync for weight and height - Light and dark mode - Sign in with Apple, Google or email Cook once.

The calorie calculator that shows its work. Most calorie and macro calculator apps give you a number. This one shows you exactly how it got there — every formula, every multiplier, every step. No black box. No account required. CALORIE CALCULATOR Enter your age, sex, weight, height, activity level, and goal. Your daily calorie target is calculated using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — the most accurate BMR formula for the general population — then adjusted for activity (TDEE) and your goal (fat loss, maintenance, or muscle gain). Safety floors are applied automatically. MACRO CALCULATOR Get a recommended protein, carb, and fat split based on your goal and BMI — or drag the sliders to set a fully custom macro split. Grams and kcal update instantly. Your macro percentages always total 100%. BMI CALCULATOR Your BMI isn't just a number here — it actively adjusts your calorie deficit tier and macro recommendations. Larger deficits are applied at higher BMI ranges where they're appropriate and safe. FLUID NEEDS CALCULATOR Your daily water target is calculated from your effective body weight, activity level, BMI, and age — not a generic "8 glasses a day." See exactly why your number is what it is. SHOW THE MATH Every screen has a "Show the math" toggle. Tap it to see the full equation with your actual numbers plugged in. Understand what you're being told. Share your results with one tap. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT Mifflin-St Jeor equation, not the outdated Harris-Benedict Fluid needs adjusted for BMI and age, not a flat rate Macros that account for your body composition No food logging, no ads, no account Built for people who want to understand the numbers, not just follow them WHO IT'S FOR Whether you're tracking macros for fat loss, calculating TDEE before a bulk, checking your BMR, or just figuring out how much water to drink — this is the calculator that treats you like an adult. Simple. Transparent. Evidence-based. MACRO CALCULATOR PRO (OPTIONAL) Everything above is free, including up to 4 saved profiles.
