Note - this spreadsheet looks best on a desktop or a laptop computer. It's still perfectly usable on mobile or a
tablet, but you may lose some of the aesthetically pleasing features. Don't be unaesthetic.
Brand consistency is key. So we recommend editing your banner with your colour scheme - simply
highlight rows 1-15 & select your brand's colour. Top it off with adding a .png file of your logo, and
deleting ours
Keep a constant colour scheme throughout. I would recommend changing the gold and
purple cell/areas to match your brand, and the font colour too.
Change the pie chart colours- You can do this by clicking on separate parts of the pie chart, going to
'Fill Section' and select your brand colours. P.S. Also click on the title and values and change the font.
Step 4 Resize rows/colums to fit your font etc.
Click on the column or rows and resize to make sure the text fits in the cells properly

The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (ADMR) of 20-35% of total
energy is a safe, reasonable and flexible target range for long-term intakes
Macronutrient Target Guidelines
Note - The guidelines given here are based off the body of evidence. Individual
response to macronutrient targeting should also be considered, and targets adjusted
Fat Requirements
It appears that the risk for EFA deficiency can occur at fat intakes below 10%
The amount of total energy as fat in the diet can vary from 10 to 50% without
adverse effects on short-term health
This translates to approxiately 0.6-1.2 g/kg of fat, depending on individual
preference, tolerance and goal
Carbohydrate Requirements
Once protein and fat requirements are set, the remainder of calories come from
carbohydrates.

Alan's Macro Calculator ( in kgs )
Fill in your client's name, current and target weight, and an activity level according to the guide. Input the average weekly training hours
(include any cardio or conditioning work) and you will be given daily and weekly calorie targets. Then select g/kg BW targets for protein and fat,
and a fibre target as a % of carbohydrate intake. If fibre intake is below 20g, the cell will remain highlighted red. Above 20g, it will change to
purple and you're good to go! This spreadsheet is best for active, athletic individuals - under 2 hours' activity per week and it tends to
underreport.
