How to Use the Protein Calculator for Weight Loss

This calculator estimates your ideal daily protein intake based on your height, activity level, and weight loss goals. It tells you:

  • How much total protein (in grams) you should consume per day

  • How to distribute protein across meals for the best results

Why Protein Is Essential for Weight Loss

Protein isn’t just for athletes — it plays a major role in healthy, long-term fat loss. Getting enough protein helps you:

  • Stay fuller for longer, reducing unnecessary snacking

  • Control cravings more effectively

  • Preserve muscle while losing fat

  • Increase metabolism by supporting lean muscle tissue

Studies also suggest that high-protein diets help maintain weight loss and reduce the likelihood of regaining fat later.

Choosing Your Activity Level

Your protein needs change depending on how active you are. Use this guide to select the right category:

  • Sedentary: Minimal or no exercise

  • Light Activity: 1–2 workouts per week

  • Moderate Activity: 3–5 workouts per week

  • Heavy Activity: 6–7 workouts per week

  • Very Heavy Activity: Intense daily training or athletic programs

The more active you are, the more protein your body needs for recovery, repair, and muscle growth.
