Protein Intake Calculator
Convert a chosen protein target in g/kg/day into grams per day from body weight.
How to use
- Enter body weight in kilograms.
- Choose or enter the g/kg/day target and calculate.
Capabilities and scope
The default is 0.8 g/kg with a 1.2 g/kg shortcut, while the field allows a user-selected factor up to 4.
How it works
protein=weight×factor and the applied factor is echoed with the result.
Example
70 kg at 0.8 g/kg/day gives 56 g/day.
Interpretation
The factor must be greater than zero and no more than 4.
Useful for
- Convert a per-kilogram protein target to daily grams
- Compare different g/kg targets at the same body weight
Before you use it
- 0.8 g/kg is a general adult reference; needs differ with age, pregnancy, disease, and training goals.

Frequently asked questions
Is 1.2 g/kg automatically better for everyone?
No. The calculator only converts the target you choose; it does not determine the appropriate individual target.
