How the calculation works

Calculation details

An adult estimate, not for children, pregnancy, or a personal treatment plan. Discuss results with a clinician or dietitian when managing illness or changing your diet.

Choose the factor according to your needs or professional advice. The 0.8 g/kg default is a reference example for healthy adults, not a universal target.
