1. How accurate is the protein calculator?
Our calculator provides estimates based on WHO recommendations and sports nutrition research. While it offers a solid foundation, individual needs may vary by ±10-15% depending on metabolism and specific circumstances.
2. Should I consume all protein at once?
No, distribute intake throughout the day. The body optimally utilizes 20-40g per meal. Spread consumption across 3-5 meals for maximum muscle protein synthesis.
