Protein needs depend on body weight and goals. General health requires less, while building muscle or dieting to lose fat requires more to preserve lean tissue. This calculator uses grams-per-kilogram guidelines from sports-nutrition research and splits your target across meals. Whole-food protein sources are ideal; supplements can help fill gaps.
