Unlock Your Optimal Health with the Carnivore Diet Protein Calculators
How to Use the Carnivore Diet Protein Calculators…
Ready to take the guesswork out of your protein needs? Follow these simple steps to calculate exactly how much protein, meat, and eggs you need daily to thrive on the carnivore diet.
Step 1: Determine Your Protein Needs
- Use the Basic Mode if you want a general recommendation:
- Enter your ideal body weight in pounds (or kilograms if using metric).
- Use the Hypertrophy Mode if your goal is muscle building or athletic performance:
- Enter your height in inches (or centimeters if using metric).
Both modes will give you the daily grams of protein you should aim for to meet your goals.
Step 2: Translate Protein into Food
Once you know your daily protein target:
- Meat Calculation:
- Use the second calculator to determine how much meat (in ounces, pounds, grams, or kilograms) you need to eat daily. This assumes an average of 25% protein content in meat.
- Egg Calculation:
- See how many eggs you need to eat to meet your daily protein goal (with 6 grams of protein per egg).
Step 3: Toggle Between Imperial and Metric Units
- Both calculators allow you to switch between Imperial (lbs, oz, inches) and Metric (kg, g, cm) systems with a simple toggle, so you can use the measurements you’re most comfortable with.
Step 4: Plan Your Day
- Use your personalized results to plan your meals. Combine meat and eggs to hit your protein target, and adjust based on your preferences and appetite.
Tips for Success
- For fat loss, aim for protein first and adjust fat intake based on hunger.
- For muscle gain, make sure you’re consistently hitting your protein target every day.
- Use these calculators weekly or monthly to adjust your intake as your goals evolve.
