Body Recomposition Calculator with Training Volume Deficit Cap
Set recomp macros
Body recomposition planner with a training-volume deficit cap — more hard sets means a smaller deficit and higher protein.
Volume-aware deficit cap: more hard sets per week → smaller calorie deficit and higher protein so recovery keeps up — coaching-level recomp logic, free.
Profile & training volume
Recomp target
2459 kcal
At 70 hard sets/week (moderate volume), deficit capped at 250 kcal so recovery keeps up — target 2459 kcal with 156 g protein.

How this calculator works
Body recomposition planner with a training-volume deficit cap — more hard sets means a smaller deficit and higher protein. TDEE from Mifflin–St Jeor; deficit capped by weekly hard sets; protein g/kg rises with volume; optional training/rest carb split. Example: 70 hard sets/week → ~250 kcal deficit, ~2.0 g/kg protein, training-day carbs +12%.

What you get
- Volume-aware deficit cap
- Training vs rest carbs
- Instant macros
How to Calculate Body Recomposition Planner Step-by-Step
- 1Enter body weight, activity, and weekly hard sets you can actually recover from.
- 2The deficit shrinks as volume rises so the gym does not eat the cut.
- 3Protein scales with that volume. Carbs can split training vs rest days.
- 4If performance drops for two weeks, the deficit is too large—raise calories, do not add cardio first.
Governing formula
Target = TDEE − volumeCap · Protein g/kg rises with hard sets/week
Recomp calories and macros with a training-volume deficit cap and higher protein at higher weekly sets.
Example: set Use workspace controls = 0, then read the result.

Very usable on mobile. Would love a save/export option later, but the math feels solid.
