Calories vs Macros: What Should You Track?

CalorieCat Team
#macros#calories#performance

The short answer: Calories drive weight up or down. Prioritize enough protein, then split carbs and fats to preference and performance.

Practical targets

• Protein: ~0.7–1.0 g per lb goal bodyweight
• Carbs/Fats: fill the rest based on energy, training, and enjoyment

Summary

Track calories for the big picture, protein for results, and use carbs/fats as levers for how you feel.
