Science-Backed Formulas
We use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for baseline energy estimation and pair it with evidence-based protein ranges commonly used in sports nutrition guidance, rather than generic one-size-fits-all numbers.

Protein Calculator for Weight Loss is a free, science-backed online tool designed to help individuals estimate an appropriate daily protein intake for effective fat loss.
Unlike generic nutrition apps that gate basic answers behind account creation, upsells, or long onboarding flows, our calculator delivers a personalized protein target in under 60 seconds with no signup and no subscription required.
We use established methods including the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for BMR estimation and evidence-based protein ranges commonly used in sports nutrition research, typically around 1.6 to 2.4 grams per kilogram depending on activity level, body composition context, and dieting pressure.
The result is a practical starting point based on your weight, height, age, activity level, and weekly weight-loss goal, along with calorie and macro context that helps turn one number into an actual plan you can use.
We are a small team of health-tech builders, developers, and nutrition-focused researchers who care about making evidence-based health information easier to understand and easier to use.
Our background spans software engineering, sports nutrition, and user experience design. We believe people should be able to understand their nutritional needs without paying for an expensive subscription or booking an appointment just to get a practical starting point.
Every tool we publish is built to turn credible research into clear, actionable guidance. We focus on simple interfaces, transparent assumptions, and outputs that help people take the next step instead of getting stuck in jargon.
We also aim to keep our tools free and continuously improved as the product evolves and nutrition guidance becomes more refined.
"Our mission is to make personalized nutrition science accessible to everyone: free, transparent, and grounded in evidence. We believe the right information, presented clearly, can change lives."
We are committed to:
