How will you use the protein calculator?

  • Allcalculator.net's protein calculator calculates your total daily energy expenditure and calculates its percentage. 
  • To calculate the calorie, you must enter age, gender, height and weight, and activity level needs for estimation. 
  • Finally, the tool will display the amount and calorie equivalent of the proteins you need to eat.
  • It determines the daily calorie needs.
  • It uses the Harris-Benedict equation to find the body's basal metabolic rate needed for breathing and circulation.
  • It also uses an activity multiplier to get an exact result.
