Post-Workout Protein Timing & Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS) Calculator
Calculate your optimal per-meal protein bolus (0.4g–0.55g per kg) to maximally trigger muscle protein synthesis (MPS) across 3 to 5 evenly spaced daily meals.

Detailed Calculation Breakdown
Calculation Methodology
Per-Meal Target (g) = Total Daily Protein Target / Number of Daily Meals. Minimum effective leucine threshold = ~25g–40g quality protein per meal.
Important Legal & Educational Disclaimer
Modern exercise physiology shows that distributing protein evenly across 3–5 feedings optimizes 24-hour muscle hypertrophy compared to single large boluses.
