[wt-macronutrients]

The following shortcode is only available in the Pro Plus version of the plugin.

[wt-macronutrients] displays a specific macronutrient figure from the macronutrient intake calculations. For more information on macronutrient calculations please visit our calculations guide.

The best way to explain how this shortcode works is to look at the output of [wt-macronutrients-table]). This table displays the macronutrient intake calculations for a user and how it is split over type (meal type / total), progress (whether to maintain / lose weight) and nutrient (fats, carbs or proteins):

Taking the table above, you may only be interested in displaying the recommended proteins to consume at lunch if wanting to lose weight. This is where the [wt-macronutrients] comes into play. Given that example, you would use this shortcode:

[wt-macronutrients type=”lose” type=”lunch” nutrient=”protein”]

For further examples, please look at this Gist.

Shortcode Arguments

The shortcode supports the following arguments:

Argument	Description	Options	Example
