Protein Target Calculator
Appetite drops; protein needs don't. Enter your bodyweight and activity level to see a rough daily protein range — then see how to hit it in small volume. It's a general nutrition guideline, not a prescription.

Hit it in small volume
When appetite is low, protein-dense servings do the work. Typical amounts per serving:
- Protein powder — typical scoop~24g
- Protein bar~20g
- Meal shake~30g
- Greek yogurt — one cup~15g
The range uses the standard general guideline of roughly 0.7 to 1.0 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight per day, with the lower end for mostly sedentary days and the upper end when you are resistance training. It is a starting estimate, not a precise number — bodies, goals, and health conditions vary, and the honest range is wide on purpose.
The factual context worth stating plainly: GLP-1 medications reduce appetite, so many people eat less overall — but a lower appetite doesn't lower a protein target, it just makes it harder to reach. That is the entire reason protein-dense, small-volume products exist, and it's the lane this site reviews. We state that context; we don't promise outcomes from it.
Not medical advice. This calculator is general nutrition information, not a diagnosis, prescription, or treatment plan. Confirm your targets with your clinician — especially on appetite-suppressing medication, or if you have kidney disease or any condition that affects how much protein is right for you.
