See your macros in 30 seconds
Free calculator. Once we have your DNA on file you just need to enter your information and see a DNA-personalized calorie and macro target personalized to you. If you want to try it with a synthetic DNA file, you can do that now.
Try an example. Each one is a made-up person with made-up numbers and a made-up DNA profile. Pick one, then change any number you like.

These numbers are personalized to a made-up DNA profile.
This preview runs on Example 2's made-up profile (ACTN3 CT, MTHFR CC), which nudges the protein target from a generic 0g to 0g a day, a shift of 0g. With your own results, the calculator does this from your DNA and updates whenever your weight, goal, or activity changes.

Your daily calories come from the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, the most accurate widely-validated resting-energy formula, multiplied by an activity factor and adjusted for your goal. If you enter your body fat percentage, the calculator instead uses the Katch-McArdle equation, which bases resting energy on your lean body mass and is more accurate when your body composition is known. Your protein target starts at 1.8 grams per kilogram of body weight and your fat at 30 percent of calories, with carbohydrate making up the remainder (never below 5 percent).
The DNA-personalized version adjusts your protein target using markers linked to muscle fiber type (ACTN3) and B-vitamin processing (MTHFR), and adjusts your fat share with your goal. Your genetic factor is set once from your DNA; you update your biometrics whenever your age, weight, goal, or activity changes, and your numbers recalculate.
These targets are a starting point for a healthy adult, not medical advice. Talk to a healthcare provider before making big changes, especially if you are pregnant, managing a health condition, or working with a clinician on your nutrition.
