How to use your result

Your estimated range is a helpful starting point based on current evidence.
Individual needs can vary, so use it as a guide and adjust over time.

  1. Use the range as a starting point

    It’s a general estimate based on your inputs and the evidence.

  2. Spread protein across your meals

    Use the per-meal amount shown as a practical guide when planning your meals.

  3. Adjust for your needs and preferences

    Consider your progress, appetite, food choices and how you feel, and tweak as needed.

Educational estimate. Not medical advice.
