Advanced Protein Requirement Calculator

Scientifically optimized for your body type, activity level, and fitness goals

Your Personalized Protein Plan

Based on your profile ( kg, , ):

grams of protein per day

📊 Protein Distribution Guide

For optimal absorption, spread your protein across 3-5 meals:

  • Breakfast: g
  • Lunch: g
  • Dinner: g
  • Snacks: g total (1-2 snacks)

🔬 Science-Based Recommendation

Your protein range is supported by research from the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition:

  • General health: 0.8g/kg
  • Athletes: 1.4-2.0g/kg
  • Muscle building: 1.6-2.2g/kg
  • Fat loss: 1.6-2.4g/kg (preserves muscle)
