# Macro Goals
Use the `macroGoals` query to obtain the total sum of macros logged for a particular date, the user's macronutrient goals (if goals are active), and the amount left.
## Requirements
* Execute the [`updateMealPlanSettings`](https://docs.suggestic.com/graphql/query/mutations/user-profile/update-meal-plan-settings) mutation to set the user's basic information, i.e: weight, height, age, etc.
## Consideration
If the user updates their daily caloric intake by using the meal plan settings, [`profileMealPlanSettings`](https://docs.suggestic.com/graphql/query/mutations/user-profile/profile-meal-plan-settings), the counted calories will be the ones the user or the application set by using that mutation.
### Required Argument
| Argument | Type | Description |
| -------- | ----- | --------------------------------------- |
| `Date` | Date! | Date to obtain the sum of macros logged |
### Available Fields

| `name` | ID | ID of the program. Use the [`programs` ](https://docs.suggestic.com/graphql/query/queries/program/programs)mutation to get the program ID. |
| `bmr` | Int | Basal Metabolic Rate |
| [`bmi`](https://docs.suggestic.com/graphql/helpful-resources/glossary#bmi) | Int | Body Mass Index calculated from user's weight and height values. |
| `tdee` | Int | Totaly Daily Energy Expenditure |
| `cd` | Int | Caloric Deficit |
| `dcig` | Int | Daily Caloric Intake Goal |
| `isUserGoal` | Boolean | **True** if this is the user's goal. Otherwise, it will be **False** |
| `carbs` | MacroNutrientGoal | An object that contains predefined macronutrient goals |
| `fat` | MacroNutrientGoal | An object that contains predefined macronutrient goals |
| `protein` | MacroNutrientGoal | An object that contains predefined macronutrient goals |
