About Protein per meal

Research on muscle protein synthesis suggests that spreading protein intake evenly across 3–5 meals throughout the day produces better results for muscle building than consuming most protein in one or two large meals. The current evidence points to approximately 0.4g per kg per meal as an effective dose for stimulating muscle protein synthesis. The Protein per Meal Calculator takes your total daily protein target and number of meals, then distributes the grams evenly or with optional front-loading or back-loading patterns. It also shows the per-meal target as a food equivalent (e.g., equivalent chicken breast weight) for practical meal planning.
