1. What is the Carnivore Diet Protein Calculation?

The Carnivore Diet Protein Calculation helps determine daily protein intake based on body weight and activity level. It's essential for muscle maintenance and growth on a meat-only diet.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the protein equation:

Where:

• \( Weight \) — Body weight in kilograms
• \( Factor \) — Protein factor in grams per kilogram (typically 1.6-2.2 g/kg)

Explanation: The equation calculates daily protein needs by multiplying body weight by a factor that accounts for activity level and muscle mass goals.

3. Importance of Protein Calculation

Details: Proper protein intake is crucial on a carnivore diet to prevent muscle loss, support metabolic functions, and maintain satiety.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter weight in kilograms and select an appropriate protein factor (1.6 for sedentary, 2.2 for active individuals). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What protein factor should I use?
A: Sedentary: 1.6-1.8 g/kg, Active: 2.0-2.2 g/kg, Athletes: up to 2.5 g/kg depending on training intensity.

Q2: Should I eat more protein if I'm trying to build muscle?
A: Yes, muscle building typically requires 2.2-2.5 g/kg of protein daily.

Q3: Is this calculation only for carnivore diets?
A: While designed for carnivore, it can be used for any high-protein diet.

Q4: How often should I recalculate my protein needs?
A: Recalculate whenever your weight changes significantly or your activity level changes.

Q5: Can I eat all my protein in one meal?
A: While possible, spreading protein intake across 2-3 meals may be more optimal for muscle protein synthesis.
