Daily Protein Intake Calculator

-
grams of protein per day

Enter your body weight and choose a goal, and this calculator estimates a daily protein range in grams using common per kilogram guidelines. Sedentary maintenance sits near 0.8 grams per kilogram, general fitness lands around 1.2 to 1.6 grams, and muscle building or fat loss on a deficit often uses 1.6 to 2.2 grams per kilogram of body weight. The tool multiplies your weight by the low and high end of the chosen band so you see a sensible range rather than a single figure. Weight can be entered in kilograms or pounds, and the conversion happens locally in your browser with nothing sent to a server. These are general information ranges, not medical or dietary advice, so people with kidney conditions or specific athletic needs should confirm targets with a qualified professional.
