Formula Used
1. Basal metabolic rate: Mifflin-St Jeor equation estimates resting energy needs using body weight, height, age, and sex.
2. Total daily energy expenditure: TDEE = BMR × activity factor.
3. Protein target: Protein grams = body weight in kilograms × selected protein factor.
4. Fat target: Fat grams = (target calories × fat percentage) ÷ 9.
5. Carbohydrate target: Carb grams = (target calories − protein calories − fat calories) ÷ 4.
6. Meal distribution: Protein per meal = total protein ÷ number of meals.

FAQs
1. What is a high protein diet planner?
It is a nutrition tool that estimates daily protein, calories, fats, and carbohydrates. It also spreads protein across meals for easier planning and consistency.
2. How much protein should I eat daily?
Many active adults use roughly 1.6 to 2.2 grams per kilogram of body weight. The best amount depends on training level, calorie intake, age, and health needs.
3. Can this planner help with fat loss?
Yes. Higher protein intake can support fullness and muscle retention during a calorie deficit. This planner lowers calories by goal while keeping protein appropriately high.
4. Is the calorie estimate exact?
No. It is an informed estimate based on standard equations and activity multipliers. Real needs vary with training volume, metabolism, sleep, stress, and body composition.
5. Why spread protein across meals?
Evenly distributing protein can make meals easier to build and may support muscle protein synthesis throughout the day. It also improves meal structure and satiety.
6. Can vegetarians or vegans use this tool?
Yes. The planner includes vegetarian and vegan food suggestions. You can still reach high protein targets by combining legumes, soy foods, dairy, eggs, or seitan.
7. Should I use custom protein factor?
Use it when you already follow a specific target from a coach or dietitian. Otherwise, the built-in settings give practical starting points for most goals.
8. Does this replace medical nutrition advice?
No. It is an educational planning aid. If you have kidney disease, diabetes, pregnancy, or other medical conditions, ask a qualified clinician before major diet changes.
