Protein Calculator – Your Personal Guide to Protein Intake
The Protein Calculator app helps you estimate your daily protein requirements with accuracy, based on your age, gender, height, weight, activity level, and goals. Whether you want to build muscle, lose fat, maintain health, or simply understand your nutritional needs, this tool makes it simple and effective.
Protein is essential for every part of the body. It builds and repairs muscle, strengthens bones, supports metabolism, fuels recovery, and keeps skin, hair, and nails healthy. Without enough protein, energy levels drop, recovery slows, and long-term health suffers.
This app takes the guesswork out of protein intake by giving you a personalized protein range, along with meal suggestions and nutrition tips.
