Minimum Protein Per Day Calculator

Formula

To calculate the minimum protein intake per day:

\[ \text{P} = \text{W} \times \text{F} \]

Where:

\(\text{P}\) is the minimum protein per day (g)
\(\text{W}\) is the body weight (kg)
\(\text{F}\) is the protein factor (0.8)

What is Minimum Protein Per Day?

The minimum protein per day refers to the least amount of protein that an individual should consume daily to maintain basic bodily functions and overall health. Protein is an essential macronutrient that plays a crucial role in building and repairing tissues, producing enzymes and hormones, and supporting immune function. The recommended minimum protein intake can vary based on factors such as age, sex, physical activity level, and overall health.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Body Weight (\(\text{W}\)) = 70 kg

Using the formula:

\[ \text{P} = 70 \times 0.8 = 56 \, \text{g} \]

The Minimum Protein Per Day is 56 g.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Body Weight (\(\text{W}\)) = 85 kg

Using the formula:

\[ \text{P} = 85 \times 0.8 = 68 \, \text{g} \]

The Minimum Protein Per Day is 68 g.
