Still Have Questions?
How do I use the protein calculator?
Our protein calculator only takes 10 seconds to complete, and can change the decisions you make about your diet, protein nutrition and health.
Enter your current weight, exercise frequency and intensity, and main health goal. This calculator then provides you with a personalised daily protein target based on current guidance by athletes, coaches, and performance dietitians.
The information provided in this calculator is general in nature, so please use your own discretion and consult with a medical or health professional if you are uncertain.
What happens if my weight changes?
Your daily protein needs will naturally shift as your body changes, especially during periods of weight loss or gain, fat loss, muscle gain, increased activity or changes in your body composition.
Your recommended daily protein intake depends on factors like your current weight, activity level, and health goals.
Use our protein calculator every few weeks to ensure you stay aligned with your health goals, and maintain the optimal protein intake for you.
How much protein do I need each day?
Many Australians do not consume enough high-quality protein each day. Your recommended daily protein intake depends on factors like your current weight, activity level, and health goals.
Use our Protein Calculator to find out your personalised daily protein target.
Mirrabooka is a simple and effortless way to increase your daily protein intake and keep your health on track.
Is this calculator just for athletes or gym users?
Not at all.
This protein calculator is for real Australians from all walks of life with different activity levels - from on-the-go parents, athletes, active agers to health conscious people.
Consuming enough high quality protein isn't just about building muscle, its the foundation to everyday wellbeing, recovery and immune function.
How do I hit my daily protein target?
Most Mirrabooka users pair high protein meals with 2 to 3 servings of Mirrabooka each day to close the gap in protein intake, without overcomplicating their routine.
Mirrabooka can be enjoyed in shakes and smoothies, stirred through breakfast yoghurt or oats bowls, or used in frozen desserts, pancakes, baking, and homemade ice cream.
Start with adding Mirrabooka to your breakfast or after training, and your favourite snacks.
Mirrabooka is designed to complement a balanced diet, not replace whole meals or serve as your sole source of nutrition.
Why is my target higher than I expected?
If you are largely sedentary, your protein needs may be relatively low. However, once movement, training, body composition goals, or age come into the picture, those requirements can increase significantly.
Many people fall short on high-quality protein and rely heavily on processed carbohydrates. This protein calculator is based on current science that supports strength, satiety, and healthier body composition.
For some, the protein target may feel ambitious at first, but for many people it can lead to a meaningful shift in energy, recovery, and long-term wellbeing and healthspan.
Stay strong, satisfied & hit your daily protein target - one scoop at a time.
