The general adult reference intake is about 0.8 g of protein per kg of body weight. During weight loss, higher intakes of roughly 1.2–1.6 g/kg/day are associated with better preservation of lean muscle, so this calculator uses that range. It's a general estimate — your dietitian can set a target that fits your health and goals. If you have kidney disease, do not increase protein without medical advice.
