A protein calculator for weight loss sets a daily gram target based on body weight and goal. Too little protein and you lose muscle with fat. Too much is rarely the problem in a deficit.
Simple protein formula
Aim for 0.7 to 1 gram per pound of goal body weight, or at least 0.7 per pound current weight while cutting. BusyBody sets protein automatically during onboarding and shows a daily ring.
Hitting protein without stress
- Protein at breakfast and dinner
- Greek yogurt or skyr snacks
- Double protein portions in bowls and salads
- Photo log to spot low-protein days early
Protein and the scale
Higher protein improves satiety and recovery from training. Ask the coach for meal ideas when you are fifty grams short at 6pm.
The bottom line
Use BusyBody as your protein calculator for weight loss: automatic targets, daily tracking, and meal suggestions when you fall behind.
