😱 This is exactly how I calculate macros for my midlife clients struggling with perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms… and it’s not the formula your favorite fitness app or everyone on the internet is using.
😏Many generic macro calculators are built for 25-year-old men. Not for women navigating perimenopause or menopause with a completely different metabolic history.
Here’s the actual process:
1️⃣ Start with your RMR (resting metabolic rate), not just some multiplier of total body weight. This changes everything about your baseline.
2️⃣ Anchor protein first. At this stage, protein isn’t flexible; it’s the non-negotiable that preserve + muscle and speeds up metabolism. You can definitely use ideal body weight in grams, but there’s another accurate option I like as well.
3️⃣ Set fat intake to support your body’s natural needs for satiety, focus, etc., not to hit some arbitrary “low fat” number diet culture taught you to fear. Even if you have fat to burn from your body.
4️⃣ Fill in the rest based on your activity level and how metabolically flexible your body actually is right now, not where you wish it was.
5️⃣ Reassess every few weeks. Not daily. Your body needs time to actually respond before you change anything. This is important. Daily tweaks can inhibit results. Are you guilty of daily tweaking?!
🔐The mistake almost everyone makes? Guessing or copying someone else’s macros because “it worked for them.” Your ideal Macros should be built around YOUR patterns, not some body builder’s IG post.
💁🏼♀️This is exactly why I built the Macro Formula, a calculator that adjusts to YOUR body + metabolism, not a generic template.
💫 And inside Weight Loss Accelerator, you get lifetime access, so you’re never guessing again. This is actually the calculator I use to make my own personal adjustments as well because vitality and longevity take more than just “maintenance.” I actually hate that word but we’ll save that for another day lol
👀 What’s the most confusing part of Macros for you… Protein? Fat? Or just knowing how to make adjustments? LMK👇🏼
