Calorie and Gram Nutrition CalculatorIf you already have a calorie range in mind, and a target ratio, this tool will help you compute the calories of protein, carbs, and fat necessary. It will give you calories, grams, and even grams per meal based on the number of meals you consume per day! If you really need help finding out how many calories you should consume, I recommend a tool such as Diet Power Nutrition Software  to analyze your foods. You not only can key in all of your daily meals and activities, but this software allows you to set goals and will budget your daily calories for you. It has a unique system that "learns" your metabolism and adjusts the calories appropriately to ensure that you reach your goal.
