Protein Per-Meal Splitter
Distribute your daily protein across meals at the leucine-threshold dose research says actually triggers building.
Muscle protein synthesis responds per-meal, not per-day: doses of ~0.24 g/kg (young) to 0.40 g/kg (older) maximise each response, and the classic skewed pattern — 10 g at breakfast, 70 g at dinner — leaves stimulation on the table. If your per-meal number sits far below the marker, add a meal or shift grams earlier.

About Protein Per-Meal Splitter
Muscle protein synthesis responds per-meal, not per-day: doses of ~0.24 g/kg (young) to 0.40 g/kg (older) maximise each response, and the classic skewed pattern — 10 g at breakfast, 70 g at dinner — leaves stimulation on the table. It applies per meal = daily total ÷ meals; effective dose ≈ 0.4 g/kg/meal.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Protein Per-Meal Splitter work?+
Muscle protein synthesis responds per-meal, not per-day: doses of ~0.24 g/kg (young) to 0.40 g/kg (older) maximise each response, and the classic skewed pattern — 10 g at breakfast, 70 g at dinner — leaves stimulation on the table. The calculation uses the formula: per meal = daily total ÷ meals; effective dose ≈ 0.4 g/kg/meal. Everything runs instantly in your browser as you type — your inputs are never uploaded.
Is the Protein Per-Meal Splitter accurate, and what is it based on?+
The method is traceable to authoritative sources, including Areta JL et al., J Physiol 2013 — protein distribution and MPS; Schoenfeld BJ & Aragon AA, JISSN 2018 — per-meal protein review. Results are estimates — individual variation always applies, so treat the output as a well-grounded starting point.
Is the Protein Per-Meal Splitter free and private?+
Yes. It's completely free with no sign-up, and all computation happens locally in your browser, so none of your health data ever leaves your device.
