🥩 Protein Intake Calculator
How It Works
Estimate a daily protein target from body weight and an activity multiplier. Use Protein Intake Calculator as a general estimate from the measurements and assumptions you enter.
The result is most useful when the inputs match the definitions used by this calculator. For this tool, the underlying method is: Protein = Body Weight × Protein Factor. Compare the output with the worked example, then change one meaningful input at a time to see how the result responds.
Understanding Protein Intake
Protein Intake is a general health or fitness estimate based on the measurements and assumptions requested by the calculator. Health estimates are not diagnoses and can differ from an individual's actual needs or measurements. Review the protein intake inputs and units before relying on the result.
When to Use This Calculator
Use Protein Intake Calculator as a general estimate from the measurements and assumptions you enter.
Practical tip: For this Protein Intake Calculator, use the result as a starting estimate and change one measurement or activity assumption at a time so you can see how sensitive the estimate is.
Formula
Protein = Body Weight × Protein Factor
Example
At 70 kg and 1.6 g/kg, the target is 112 g/day.
