Why Protein Calculator to Loss Weight
Protein Calculator to Loss Weight help determine optimal daily protein intake to boost metabolism, preserve lean muscle mass, and enhance satiety. Proper protein consumption (1.2-2.2g/kg body weight) increases thermogenesis by 15-30%, reduces cravings, and prevents muscle loss during calorie deficit. Our calculator uses scientific formulas to personalize your protein needs based on weight, activity level, and fitness goals, making weight management more effective and sustainable.
Calculate Your Protein Needs
Protein Intake Formula
The calculator uses: Weight (kg) × Activity Multiplier = Daily Protein (grams)
Multipliers range from 1.2g/kg (sedentary) to 1.8g/kg (athletes). This formula comes from ISSN sports nutrition research showing higher protein needs for active individuals to prevent muscle loss during weight reduction.
