What this pack is for

Use this guide to turn hydration and macro calculators into sensible first-draft plans while keeping their limits visible.

Hydration reminders

  • Water-intake estimates vary with climate, body size, activity, and diet.
  • A calculator result is a starting point, not a universal prescription.

Macro planning reminders

  • Macro percentages divide a calorie budget into protein, carbohydrate, and fat.
  • A mathematically neat split is not automatically practical or nutritionally complete.

Practical use

Set the initial plan, then adjust using observation: performance, hunger, recovery, thirst, and body-weight trend all matter.
