🧬 How The Women's Protein Calculator Works

Our protein calculator for weight loss women uses evidence-based recommendations (1.6–2.2 g/kg body weight) for active females focusing on fat loss while preserving lean mass. It first estimates your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, then multiplies by activity level, applies weight loss calorie deficit, and calculates optimal protein based on your fitness focus and goal.

✅ Muscle Preservation
Higher protein during deficit reduces muscle loss
✅ Increased Satiety
Protein keeps you full longer
✅ Thermic Effect
Burns more calories digesting protein

Lean meats, fish, eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, legumes, tofu, and protein powders. Aim for variety to get complete amino acids.
