This calculator is for general guidance only and isn't medical advice. People with kidney disease or other medical conditions should speak with their clinician before changing protein intake. For a personalized plan, book a $49 consult at our Nutley clinic.
Protein protects the muscle you don't want to lose
This target is a general estimate. How much protein you actually need depends on your muscle mass — which we measure, then build your real-food meals around.
At your $49 consultation, a Tanita scan replaces the estimate with your real body fat, muscle mass, visceral fat and hydration — and we explain what to do about it.
