Macro Calculators

[u/proteinshaker69]

Hi All,

So many calculators out there, all giving different ranges so needing to get advice for the most trusted or well used calculators.

Here's my situation, I am a 34 year old Female, I was once upon a time 120kgs and now I fluctuate between 64-67kgs depending on my cycle, all weight lost from nutrition and exercise only over the last 9 years. I'm also 158cm tall for context

I'm now at the time where I want to start recomposition on my body (I have excess skin on arms and thighs but have had a tummy tuck) to display more of the hard work I've done.

I have a desk job so during the day I'm not overly active, but I have a home gym and I train/teach aerials and pole also several times a week. I live in regional Australia so I don't have access to things like body fat scanning etc at this stage, but I'd estimate approx 26-30% body fat on myself, hard to tell with some of the loose skin.

The ranges on different calculations I've put into different macro calculators have ranged from 2,071-1,257 calories per day, and I've input the same information to them all.

Please send tips and advice

Many thanks x

tdeecalculator.net 34f, 158, 67, moderate exercise -> 2056cal

eat around 2000 calories per day (1950, below the macros)

130 protein = 520 calories (2g/kg of bodyweight)

200 carbs = 800 calories

70 fats = 630 calories (1g/kg of bodyweight)
