About this calculator

Protein needs scale with body weight and activity. The RDA (0.8 g/kg) is the floor to avoid deficiency in sedentary adults — most people need more. Active adults: 1.2-1.4 g/kg. Lifters / muscle-building: 1.6-1.8 g/kg. Aggressive cutters or competitive bodybuilders: 2.0-2.4 g/kg. Beyond 2.5 g/kg shows diminishing returns. A 75 kg lifter targeting 1.6 g/kg needs 120g/day — easy to hit with 30-40g per meal.

Frequently asked

Body weight scales protein turnover. A 50 kg person and a 100 kg person have very different daily needs.
