Healthy Weight and Protein Intake Calculator
Healthy weight range: 0
Daily protein intake: 0 grams
Healthy body composition is our main goal. Increase muscle mass and bone density. Decrease and maintain low body fat percentages.
We start losing 3-8% of our muscle mass and bone density around every decade, around age thirty. Even more after age sixty. Eating enough protein every day along with resistence training slows this process down dramatically.
BMI isn’t always accurate but it can be used to determine our ideal protein intake. Which is around one gram of protein per one pound of ideal body weight.
If you aren't doing whole body resistance training consistently, you most likely have a high body fat percentage. Even if you’re skinny or at a healthy weight according the BMI calculator. Your are still at risk for metabolic diseases.
If you are overweight, using the BMI calculator is a great way to find an initial weight goal.

Note:
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a screening tool but not a diagnostic tool. Important considerations:
-
Gender Differences: Women typically
have higher body fat percentages than men. This
calculator uses slightly different ranges:
- Males: Normal BMI range of 18.5-25.0
- Females: Normal BMI range of 18.5-24.5
- Other factors such as age, ethnicity, muscle mass, and body composition can influence the relationship between body fat and BMI
- Athletes or very muscular individuals may have a high BMI but not excess body fat
