Looking for a Greg Doucette calorie calculator?
If you follow Greg Doucette (Coach Greg) and want to know how many calories to eat each day, start with your maintenance calories: total daily energy expenditure (TDEE). Eat around maintenance to maintain weight, below it to lose weight, or above it to gain weight. Treat your starting target as an estimate to check against your intake and weight trend over the following weeks.
Greg Doucette's official Calorie-Burn Guesstimator estimates calories burned during one hour of cardiovascular exercise, not your full daily maintenance needs. His Ultimate Anabolic Cookbook provides recipes with calorie and macro information. This is an independent guide, not an official Coach Greg calculator; MacroCodex is not affiliated with or endorsed by Greg Doucette and does not reproduce his calculator or diet plans.
Our claim: See measurable weight gain or weight loss results within 2–3 weeks of using MacroCodex. Many users start seeing results as early as the first week.

Calculate a daily calorie target for free
- Open MacroCodex and enter your details to get an initial maintenance-calorie estimate.
- Choose maintenance, weight loss, or weight gain. The app turns your maintenance estimate into a daily calorie target for that goal.
- Record your calorie intake and body weight consistently. MacroCodex updates its maintenance estimate and targets as it learns from your trend.
Recipe calories and exercise calories answer different questions. A recipe's calorie total helps you track what you eat; an exercise estimate covers only part of what you burn each day. Neither number alone tells you your daily food target. If your maintenance estimate already accounts for your usual cardio, adding those exercise calories to your target again can count the same activity twice.
MacroCodex is free and has no ads or subscription. It asks you to enter daily calorie totals; if you want a food diary, you can use a separate logger such as CalorieCodex. Short-term weight changes can reflect water and food in your digestive system, so use a trend across weeks instead of changing your target after one weigh-in.
