At Theorem Metabolic, our mission is to empower you to achieve optimal health and performance through personalised metabolic optimisation. Our cutting‑edge technology, data‑driven approach, and expert coaching are all designed to help you unlock your true potential—because your performance, squared², is our ultimate goal.
Why This Calculator?
Traditional, one‑size‑fits‑all protein calculations are often based solely on weight. While simple, these methods can be far removed from the reality of your individual needs. Factors such as age, sex, activity type, muscle mass (whether measured via a professional body composition analysis or estimated using categorical assessments), and training style (including specialised options like VT1 Training and VT1 Extreme) all influence your true protein requirements. Even our advanced calculator—while incorporating many variables—acknowledges that metabolism is a key factor still missing from the picture. This tool is designed to illustrate just how complex nutritional needs can be, and why personalised data and metabolic testing are essential to truly optimise performance.
Protein Intake Calculator
Protein Intake Calculator
How Does It Work?
Input Your Basic Details: Begin by entering your weight, age, and sex. These fundamental metrics form the basis of the calculation.
Select Your Activity Type: Choose from a range of activity multipliers—from Sedentary, Moderate, Resistance, Endurance, Hybrid, and even specialised training modes like VT1 Training or VT1 Extreme. These options allow the calculator to adjust protein recommendations based on the energy demands and recovery needs specific to your training.
Diet and Muscle Mass Assessment:
Diet Adjustment: Indicate if you follow a plant‑based diet, which generally requires a 10% increase in protein to account for differences in bioavailability.
Muscle Mass Assessment: If you’ve had a professional body composition analysis (BCA), you can enter your measured muscle mass percentage. If not, select your muscle mass category—from Lower Than Average, Average, Higher Than Average, Dedicated Body Builder, to Distance Runner. These selections help refine your protein recommendation further.
Advanced Mode (Optional): If you’re keen to see how your recommended protein fits into your overall dietary framework, enable Advanced Mode. Enter your daily calorific intake and your current macro breakdown (protein, carbohydrates, fats). The calculator will then display both your target protein intake in grams and the corresponding macro percentages. For specialised training modes (VT1 Training and VT1 Extreme), the calculator automatically adjusts the macros—demonstrating, for example, how VT1 Extreme mode increases protein further (by an additional 5%) and lowers carbohydrates (to around 25%) so that fats fill the remainder. This adjustment is based on our research with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices and helps highlight the shift in metabolic demands for high-calorie burners.
Review Your Results: The calculator presents your recommended daily protein intake (in grams) along with an explanatory note such as “based upon a daily calorific intake of XXX calories” if you’ve provided a calorie target. In Advanced Mode, you’ll also see a detailed macro breakdown, allowing you to compare your current dietary approach with our personalised recommendation.
Why Use This Calculator?
Our Protein Intake Calculator is not simply about numbers—it’s about illustrating the difference between basic, weight-based guidelines and a truly personalised nutritional strategy. By considering multiple factors, our tool demonstrates that a one‑size‑fits‑all approach can be far off the mark. While even this extended calculator doesn’t account for every aspect (notably, individual metabolic rate), it is a powerful reminder of the complexity of nutrition and the need for personalised metabolic testing. It’s one of the many online tools we offer at Theorem Metabolic to support your journey toward optimal health and performance.
