How does the Protein Per Meal Calculator work?

Daily protein target ≈ 1.6–2.2g per kg body weight for muscle building Then: Per meal = Daily target ÷ number of meals Then: MPS stimulation plateaus around 20–40g per meal for most people Then: Leucine threshold (~3g) must be reached to trigger MPS.

Can you give an example of how to use the Protein Per Meal Calculator?

Example: Input 80kg person, 3 meals gives a result of Daily target 144g → 48g per meal.
