Example Calculation

Inputs
  • Age: 30 years
  • Daily Calorie Intake: 2200 kcal/day

Suppose you enter: Age = 30, Daily Calorie Intake = 2200. The calculator applies the formula (Caloric method: 14 g per 1,000 kcal\nDRI: Men ≤50: 38 g/day; Men >50: 30 g/day; Women ≤50: 25 g/day; Women >50: 21 g/day) and shows all output values below.
