Cómo funciona la Protein Calculator

The calculation is based on scientific consensus: body weight (kg) multiplied by an activity-dependent factor. WHO minimum: 0.8 g/kg. For muscle building, sports scientists recommend 1.6–2.2 g/kg. Formula: weight × factor.

Preguntas frecuentes

How much protein can I absorb per meal?
Studies show the body optimally uses around 20–40 g of protein per meal. For higher needs, 4–5 meals with 30–50 g each are recommended.
Do plant proteins count the same?
Plant proteins often have an incomplete amino acid profile. Combining sources (e.g. legumes + grains) fully compensates for this.
What happens with too little protein?
Below the WHO minimum (0.8 g/kg), muscle loss, slowed metabolism and a weakened immune system are risks – especially critical when losing weight.
