Protein Calculator
If you have kidney disease or another medical condition, ask your clinician before raising protein.
Published range for your weight
Example for 70 kg and 1,600 kcal. Enter your numbers and press Calculate.
Split across the day
Published per-meal guidance is 20 to 40 g, or about 18 g for your weight.
That is 21 to 28% of 1,600 kcal.
Where this range comes from
Joint advisory, AJCN 2025 (PMC12264624)
The same advisory also gives an absolute reference: 80 to 120 g per day may be easier to follow.
Guidance is uncertain about which body weight to use at higher body weights, so treat the range as a starting point.
Mealyno's app default: 2.0 g/kg in a deficit (top of the ISSN range for exercising adults). This calculator shows the published ranges instead.
