Frequently Asked Questions
Why is lunch the largest recommended meal?
This distribution reflects a common nutritional guideline of front-loading calories earlier in the day, when the body tends to be more active and metabolically responsive, rather than eating the largest meal right before rest.
How do I find my daily calorie target?
You can estimate your daily calorie target using a calorie or TDEE calculator based on your weight, height, age, activity level, and goal, then enter that number here to see it split across meals.
What if I eat more or fewer than three meals a day?
This calculator is designed around a standard three-meal-a-day pattern. If you eat more frequently, such as with added snacks, you would need to redistribute a portion of these ranges to account for the extra eating occasions.
Do I need to hit these ranges exactly every day?
These are general guidelines, not strict rules. Day-to-day variation in meal timing and size is normal and does not need to match this distribution precisely.
