These are general population guidelines, not a personalized medical or nutritional prescription. Individual needs vary, especially with kidney conditions or other medical concerns — consult a healthcare professional or registered dietitian.
Formula
Daily Protein (g) = Body Weight (kg) x Grams per kg (by activity level)
Protein needs scale with body weight and activity level: sedentary adults generally need around 0.8 g/kg (the standard RDA baseline), while very active or athletic individuals commonly benefit from up to about 2.2 g/kg.
Example
A moderately active person weighing 70 kg has a daily protein target of about 84 g (70 x 1.2).
Frequently Asked Questions
Is more protein always better?
No — more active individuals benefit from more protein up to a point, but very high intakes provide diminishing returns and may not suit everyone, particularly those with certain kidney conditions.
