What does this tool do?
A daily protein target is easier to hit when it is split into portions you can plan around. This calculator multiplies body weight by a protein intake rate, then divides the total by meals per day.
The Formula
Daily protein (g) = Body weight (kg) × Protein rate (g/kg); per meal = Daily protein ÷ MealsFrequently Asked Questions
How much protein should each meal contain?
Many people do well with 20–40 g per meal, but the right number depends on total daily needs and how many meals you eat. This tool keeps the daily total consistent across meals.
Does protein timing matter?
Total daily protein matters most. Spreading it across meals can make the target easier to reach and may support muscle protein synthesis better than one large serving.
