Optimize Your Muscle Growth with Proper Protein Intake
A protein calculator to build muscle is essential for athletes and fitness enthusiasts aiming for optimal muscle growth. By calculating your precise protein needs based on weight and activity level, you ensure proper nutrient intake for muscle repair and growth. This tool helps prevent under-eating (which limits gains) and overconsumption (which can lead to fat storage). Our calculator uses scientific formulas to recommend daily protein requirements, helping you maximize workout results while maintaining a balanced diet. Proper protein intake combined with strength training accelerates muscle development and improves recovery time between sessions.

Scientific Formula Behind the Calculator
The protein calculator uses the formula: Weight (kg) × Activity Multiplier. Based on International Society of Sports Nutrition research, we recommend 1.6-2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight depending on training intensity. This range supports muscle protein synthesis while accounting for individual metabolic differences.
How to Use the Protein Calculator
1. Enter your current weight in kilograms
2. Select your training intensity level
3. Click Calculate to get your daily protein requirement
4. Use the results to plan meals and track intake
5. Recalculate as your weight or training changes
| Weight (kg) | Moderate Exercise | Intense Training |
|---|---|---|
| 60 | 96g | 132g |
| 70 | 112g | 154g |
| 80 | 128g | 176g |
| 90 | 144g | 198g |
