FAQ
How much protein do I need per day?
Common guidance ranges from about 0.8 g/kg for general health to 1.6–2.2 g/kg for strength and muscle gain. A 70 kg person targeting strength lands around 112–154 g.
Why give a range instead of one number?
Protein needs depend on training, age, and goals, so a range is more honest and flexible than a single target you must hit exactly.
Can I eat too much protein?
Very high intakes offer little extra benefit for most people, and those with kidney conditions should be cautious — ask a professional if unsure.
Does the Protein Calculator send my data to a server?
No. The Protein Calculator runs entirely in your browser — your inputs never leave your device, and nothing is uploaded or stored.
Worked example
At 1.6 g per kg for a 70 kg active adult: 1.6 × 70 = 112 g protein/day as a general guideline.
